I've been watching DHH grandstand about this on twitter for the last 8 months or so. His commentary coupled with the overall marketing message for this service has made it appear slightly elitist and self-congratulatory but I dont really mind that since a lot of tech people are that way.

I love rails so I was hoping this would be awesome but between the invite-only sign up and seeing some of the impractical design decisions they have implemented, I don't think I will be using it, at least not any time soon.

I really want someone to develop a "better email" for the general populace that would be intuitive and offer chat-app-inspired improvements that could really supplant email but seeing what I have this service really seems like something geared toward techies.

It sounds like it's invite-only just until July.
