fair point. I wanted something to play with some new toys...ended up using SQS and SES..was going to do email parsing, but amazon doesn't let you validate a domain yet..so killed that off (but still learned how to do it).
There's 2 differences with this project though that I think makes it a bit unique. First, it isn't tied to facebook. Second, I thought the supplying 5 names trick was kinda unique..but maybe not.
Thanks..initially i was collecting the sender's email for this reason, but I dropped it. Wanted to keep it simpler and even more anonymous...Also, I've never used Amazon's SES before...figured the less emails I send out the safer. For now, anyways.
the website can probably be used for evil...I was thinking you could send a crush notification to your spouse, name 5 of his/her coworkers, and see if he/she tells you about it...
Why have you called this "Crush Notifier" in the submission? It doesn't call itself that anywhere on the page. It's confusing (the original Crush Notifier[1] was on HN a few weeks ago).
