I really like the idea. Feel there is lots of potential to build similar stuff for anything related to sales.

Hey neerkumar,

Thanks for the kind words! We aren't focused on sales, but in case anyone here is, what do you mean? It'd find sales prospects based on how similar their companies are/what they tweet about?

Finding the right journalists to reach out to so that they can then write about your business can be seen as a special case of sales.

Similarly, I think it would be very useful something like: "I built product X, scrape the web and find me the best sales prospect for it". This is something that people do in a very manual way today and takes forever.

Isn't that what Datanyze and a variety of other products do now?
