Awesome. Really helping people. How did you choose this idea?

As a user of several Google products, the "cattle-herded" metaphor is perfect. Not a week goes by without my needing to counsel a former Picasa users nursing wounds from the great G+ herding of 2013.

This is why my company's board is 100% cyborgs.

Seems low.

This is clever. Officially clever.

Factually incorrect as of posting time.

The part I thought was interesting: "If I vote down a story that you voted up, your vote should count less in my rankings of stories. And vice versa. The same holds for comments."

Do users have a choice to participate in this feature? What will it do to battery life?

To clarify: if an email is spam, no number of Rebumps will rescue it from the spam folder. In fact, if it was just ignored the first time, it makes it more likely to be marked as spam with every bump.

There's a wide range of urgency between sending a reminder after 3 days and ringing someone up to demand one right now. A Rebump works on a message that the recipient intends to respond to, but didn't, due to wide range of logistical reasons. If misapplied, it is the sender that will suffer the consequences.

It won't be from us. It will be an email from a loved one, asking simply if you saw the email they send you a few days ago. Be gentle.

Civilized people remind their friends, coworkers and clients to follow-up on important emails. That's what this is for.

The feedback has been incredibly valuable. No regrets.
