I've done this since ~2006 and gotten material uptake on it since ~2009 or so. The people who were interns trying to break into the tech industry or freelancers trying to get a product business off the ground in 2009 are, as of 2018, not interns anymore.

5 years ago you took the time to chat to me about pricing and sales of my b2b SaaS product. It gave me a real boost to stick with it and I am grateful to this day for that conversation. I will make sure people know how to contact me now, too :)

Neat idea. Seems smart. Done on my twitter bio (elsewhere my email address is usually obvious).
