Cool idea. I'm having trouble finding email for major us brands, but I assume more brands will come in time. How will you handle topic/industry searching like Really Good Emails does? A search for ecommerce now only pulls up emails from a company called ecommerce.

@brandononearth Hi Brandon.
We did begin to manually segment our emails into industries and categories, but as volume increased it just became impossible.
Something that's under development at the moment to (hopefully) help us get round this problem is a Naive Bayes classifier. We're currently in the testing phase and are collating our training sets for our chosen categories, so it shouldn't be too much longer in the making.

@brandononearth Oh and regarding the brands we're currently featuring, we are based in the UK so we primarily have UK brands at the moment, but we're adding more sites every day (Check out our blog to see how we're doing that - http://blog.beetle.email/post/14...).
You are also able to suggest a site for us to add via the logged in portion of the site if there's a brand in particular you would like to see.
I hope this helps!
