>You may want to add your real address though, as we'll email you when we make Twitter2Email better and/or faster.

I'll be flat honest with you and say I don't care. If I care about an update for anything, you bet I'll be subscribed to their blog's RSS feed (if it even exists) or I'll check in from time to time. I absolutely do not want or need an email cluttering my inbox.

I can also guarantee I can find an email faster if given a username and clever use of Google searches.

For example, searching Google for: "jamasenr + email"

Gives me your first name, last name, and email address as my second result. Time taken? Far less time than the octopus waiting. ;)

There is use in the site for a niche group of people who aren't particularly good with digging up information on people. I was only offering some advice on one way to improve it.

Keybase.io isn't exactly large outside of HN so doesn't particularly add much value. It adds some value but probably not for most people.

Take care.
