@kesslerio Well functionally, both GMass and Mail Merge (http://www.labnol.org/internet/p...) are capable of sending mass, personalized emails. I think that my product is far easier to use because it's a Chrome extension and adds buttons to the Gmail UI so you can manage everything from within Gmail. With Mail Merge, you need to create an outside spreadsheet, download their script, save a draft in Gmail, and then use the script to initiate sending of the draft to the emails in the spreadsheet. It's a clunkier process than what GMass requires. Additionally, I don't believe Mail Merge provides open-tracking. Finally, there are two killer features I built that I don't think any other product has:
1. The ability to build an email list based on search results in your account
2. The ability to have emails go out as replies to the last conversation you had with each person on your list (instead of a new message thread).
Hope that helps. Lastly, I'm aggressively developing GMass into a full-blown email marketing platform for Gmail. Soon we'll support scheduling, saved lists, click-tracking, and lots more.
Just used this product in the morning, worked perfectly. Now I'm going to use it for the rest of the week to send some invites. Thanks Ajay!

Rich just showed it to me today at lunch. I even used it right away. I'm loving it. Would love to chat about what you are doing -- especially around reporting.
@robertwilliger Thanks Rob. Hit me up if you have any questions or feedback please.

I thought this looked familiar, I'm pretty sure the maker shared it on Reddit the other day and I had a look. Looks like a really useful tool and I'm glad to see your launch went well!
This is an awesome product. I'm already using it to email small groups of investors and founders. Love the creation of drafts so I can customize some as needed. I often hit the limit on # emails given my search: would love a feature where I can select certain emails from the search and it just takes those emails.
@nikhilkal Thanks Nikhil! Yea, we can certainly improve the way we handle situations when the search results in too many email addresses. We need better error handling and limit-setting there, so that if you do breach the limit, we at least return as many addresses as we can and notify you accordingly. I hear you on wanting to select certain messages though -- I'll add that to our roadmap.
Great system. It messes with my Yesware a bit and it is slightly clunky, but man, it is free! :) I will be telling our pre-funded startup customers about this one.
