Hilarious anecdote about this website: the owner once said there are tons of entries in the usage log of people misunderstanding the purpose of the website and inputting celebrities names to try to email them. :D


At first glance I was trying to figure out what this is about but, so far nothing. It's "like caniuse but for email content", ok but, what is caniuse? I don't know if it is worth but, before launching something new, I wish everyone consider to publish a brief section to explain to the average person what this is about.


that's a startup idea. and the answer to the "can i email...?" will be always a static page the says "no".

there is money to be made here.


That's not true and a very much defeatist view. Yes, you can talk with people if they're willing to listen and maybe even respond. Yes, even if they're extremely popular already. Even if they're richer than you.


I know for a fact that Gabe Newell, for example, reads all emails that people send him, and even responds pretty often. So I'm pretty sure other famous people do that


I wish there was a database of some sort for these sorts of anecdotes!
