My company, CallRed, allows users to quickly message top-tier support at a number of businesses including Comcast, AT&T, USPS and Time Warner. We were featured in lifehacker last week and they’re doing a follow-up article tomorrow (shhh).

We've partnered with a few groups for letter writing campaigns and see a little organic traffic as well.
