As a Michael, that goes by Mike, I'm absolutely confident I speak for all Mikes when I say, "I absolutely hate and despise the name of this product and, should the sudden heat death of the universe strike during our lifetime, I hope you stub your toe while staring directly into the sun."
Thanks for the input Mike(y)!
Excellent idea, very useful functionality. Name unfortunately made me think of Microsoft Bob and/or Clippy, but I don't think that will be a barrier to adoption.
PRISM out, 3rd party apps (accessing/indexing your private communication) in? Sounds crazy to me.
Statement from Mikey the robot:

First, we have not joined any program that would give the U.S. government—or any other government—direct access to our servers. Indeed, the U.S. government does not have direct access or a “back door” to the information stored in our data centers. We had not heard of a program called PRISM until yesterday.

In all seriousness though, give it a try, if you don't think it's useful just shoot us an email and we'll wipe your data.
