What was the response rate for you?

Because I tried this, and it turned out to be pretty low - like 1 - 2% (which was on the high-end).

So just to get a response, I had to send 50 - 100 emails. Maybe I am misremembering, but it is something like that.

Weird. For me it was literally like 10 out of 10 replies. Though I pretty much had it set to search for "data scraping", "data mining", "data science", "big data", "machine learning", and "data analytics", then have it forward gigs/jobs/etc. to me via RSS.

Interesting...oh right...I can see why you would get more replies. That's a good idea.

Looking for smaller niches where the respondents won't get 200 replies - is probably a better use case.

That's interesting.
