Grabber is a free chrome extension which allows you to grab up-voters of product listings on PH. What’s cool is it will stay 100% free, no freemium, no cost, no BS. Why would this be useful? examples: - Target ads of up-voters of similar products - Praise your up-voters by @mentioning them on twitter - Follow and unfollow - Customer research - Engage with them before the big launch

@erictwillis what it will actually be used for: spamming people. I don't like this / assume community will not like that there's a tool out there that does that

@nivo0o0 @erictwillis I've been critical of people who posted spammy tools here before (and, frankly, gotten shot down by PH staff for complaining about them ;) ), and honestly, I think in this case my gut reaction to the product was that the use cases were pretty well laid out and it didn't sound that abusive at all.

@nivo0o0 lots of good reasons to use a tool like this which don't involve spamming.

@nivo0o0 @bentossell - great assessment by @joostschuur. This is not private data and we are not condoning people do anything spammy with it 😇 Authenticity is taking the time to thank people.

Guys let's not be idealistic. There's plenty of legitimate reasons to use a tool like this. Not sure why people feel the need to moan about publicly available data. If you don't want to be contacted on twitter set your profile to 'private' and keep it like a Facebook profile. Rather than moaning about what's authentic and what isn't.
