calvinclaus··on Show HN: CircleUps – A Politeness Tool for Busy People
Clearly I'm biased - no way I'll be able to convince you follow-ups are awesome, given I'm trying to show off a tool making them easier :)

I suggest you talk to someone in a position where curating relationships is key - founders, growth, agents - and see what they have to say about follow-up emails!

I'd say the advantages are: Show gratitude, reduce the hurdle for the other person to ask questions/reach out via email in the future, summarize the most important points made, stay top of mind with the person...

So here's the deal: After any external meeting you get an email with thank-you links for each participant. Clicking on any of the links opens up a precomposed email that you can EDIT and APPEND TO before sending. And you should!

Checkout Mindmaven's post on follow ups after meetings to learn more about why it makes sense to send emails after meetings. http://mindmaven.com/blog/2011/05/12/how-to-write-a-great-fo...

If you feel you're entitled to peoples' time because "it's their job", you're wrong...

Thanks!

I take "circle up" to mean "check back in again".

calvinclaus··on Show HN: Bringschuld – Simple periodic task and email monitoring
Hi guys!

Bringschuld is a monitoring tool for periodic tasks like cronjobs or daily emails. So it's built to save your ass...periodically :P.

You can try it out for free (no credit card required). I'd appreciate your feedback immensely.

The name? "Bringschuld" is German for "debt which must be delivered to the creditor". It's an analogy: your tasks have to deliver a check-in to our servers (the creditor).
