An awesome start up allowing you to do exactly this and more is http://flowtown.com. Their main feature is allowing you to convert email address into social profiles, you can really learn a lot about a person by what they post online - a great way to learn your customer base online.



Thank you for the love Matt ;-)

Businesses that care about their customers / users / clients are the ones that will win in 2010 and beyond. I want to be apart of this future and it's the basis for why @danmartell and I founded Flowtown.


Businesses like that "care" about their customers like ranchers "care" about cattle.

I don't suppose you're going to publish a list of your clients? Maybe for a fee?


I can vouch for Ethan and say he has personally emailed me a few times to let me know how things are going (with regards to some of my suggestions) and I can tell you he generally cares.

I mean, I don't know him outside of a few email transactions but in any case, he either truly cares or is really good at faking his authenticity, I will go with the former. This would be the reason I recommended his service and the reason I am trying to utilize it at my current place of employment. (head office is not very quick on approvals)


Do you store emails entered into your demo?


Yes, if you search an email address in Flowtown the email and the results we discover are stored in your account.


What's your opt-out policy for people you "discover" information about?
