A recession can be a great time to start a business! We're betting on that with Capital Factory, where we're giving tech startups $20,000 in cash, $20,000 in free stuff, and 20 experienced mentors to help them launch new companies. We'll be announcing the 10 finalists tomorrow at http://www.capitalfactory.com/

When times are tough, there is less competition and lots of great talent available. And there is no where to go but up!

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for asking about OtherInbox. First of all, we're still in beta so what you see now is just the beginning. It's going to be a lot more than what you see now. Stay tuned!

Second, there is a lot more to the benefit than just a catchall, and this is a lot easier to manage. For a full explanation, check out http://tinyurl.com/whynotgmail

We definitely do want to make this easier for people who don't want to deal with setting up their own domain and email or configuring rules and folders and labels. But there is also a LOT more to come!

Thanks again!

I think George summed it up pretty well. This is definitely just the beginning, not a finished product. What we have now works great, but there is a lot more coming to add value on top of this foundation.

I also am not bothered at all by people who have questions about how it works or express doubts - that's to be expected with a new product that approaches things differently and challenges the status-quo. Some people are more polite than others, but that's life... :-)

If you look at search.twitter.com, there have been about 1,000 positive comments about about 20 that might fit into your "bullies" category. I feel pretty great about that!
