        I did this back in the .com boom with Keen — you could charge for calls so I gave it to recruiters.

        recruiters were willing to do almost anything to talk to engineers in a hot market.

        I suspect this price will not clear the market.

        It not only cleared, but I had to raise it to $20 and that cleared. I may raise it to $100 next.

        this is great but it might backfire with inbox full of spam if used "for greater causes".

        cool! But that $5 rate looks stunningly low, Ben, you can make a lot more for @BlackGirlsCode @21

      @balajis a true CS person would do a second-price auction with a floor. Let the market decide the price of emailing you. 🙂
