This past September, a writer from Forbes contacted us via e-mail. He was inquiring about using FutureMe for an on-line feature project that Forbes was working on. We thought "hey that sounds kinda neat" and wrote this seemingly interesting fellow back, and also left a phone message. But sadly, we never heard back from him. So we figured that the project had fizzled.
...in November, Forbes.com published an "e-mail time-capsule" feature which is suspiciously similar, even downright reminiscent, of our very own FutureMe :mad:
