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.

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 logisti

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.

Yes! Many a heart skipped a beat during the period where this message was displayed, but we are back. All good. Thanks.

Personally, I put a rebump on an email to someone I need a yes/no answer from. Maybe it's a proposal that needs approval. Maybe it's whether they'll be joining us this weekend for a beer (because I have to make reservati

Thanks! Its usefulness to us is why we were motivated to spin it off and release it into the wild.

As a human asking you for a response, I think I'd deserve one to my first email. I am writing the follow-ups in advance in case you starred it and forgot it, opened it on your cell and forgot to 'save as new.' Things like tha

This is a future feature and we are examining which method is best and whether people actually want it. Would you adjust the content of a bump based on whether or not the person has viewed the email? May cross the Creepy Line. Maybe not. Op

We are not resending the original email. We are sending a new message you can customize that says some version of, "Did you see this?." Will definitely read up on those concerns. Thank you so much for the resources and for prevent

Boomerang is awesome. And it will tell you when an email hasn't been replied to. But it won't automatically bump until you get a response. We think Rebump saves time and workflow that way. It plays very nicely with both Boomerang

You don't reply to an email and you get a reply a few days later: "Hey, I just wanted to make sure that you saw this. If you need any more details, just let me know. Thanks again!" If you did mean to reply to that first email

You can adjust the message and how frequently you want the bumps to happen. The people being bumped think it's you and they respond to the original email.

It would be silly for spammers to use this. It would just increase the likelihood of them being marked as spam by people that already ignored their first try. This is for people who you expect an answer from but the email has fallen through

This is a tool we built to use internally and are spinning off. We did the same with InVision App a while back. Rebump works with Gmail on Chrome/Firefox for now. Feedback treasured.

I wanted to give my location manually and there was no way to continue the flow without that. Not sure how tiny a minority I am, but thought you should know.

Wait, all those reasons seem to point to it not being a tough call at all. The only reason not to would be fear about retribution. If you don't warn others, you are responsible for the ill that befalls them. Am I missing something?
