Here it is.

Here is the ROI:

    bad @ss Donato…I can’t wait to drive diver with Dave Copps PD! I think I saw eclipse first a while back and read Russ Moon was using it. I am looking forward to Pete B. and myself giving this a try in a couple of weeks! Enjoy ERE and hope to see you at sourcecon.

    Very interesting, great demo.

    Of course, your deleting the spreadsheet at the was the icing on the cake! That was funny.

    This was well done. Glad you figured out a way to condense the capsuling time. Yes, this reveals Eclipse’s power for those with some vision, but next time, do it a little differently and then even people without a creative imagination will get the value of the product:

    1) pick a site with a list that includes emails and phones and show how those fields get auto-parsed

    2) or pick a source list that goes deep into lots of names from one or a handful of companies, and then apply an Excel formula that auto-generates the email addresses based on the company email format (bonus: also streamline the inclusion of the right local office phone # (assuming the geographies of the people are evident from the capsules) which can merely be from using a tool like Argali.com in combination with Eclipse and then a simple copy/paste down the Excel column after sorting records by location.
