I think that email wasn't that good at all. tell me who cares your software
was rewritten from the ground up. also most of those bullet points
(searching/filtering) are pretty lame and after reading the whole email I
still have no idea what your app is actually to be used for.

I would attribute your success to something else, I find it hard to believe
that email was the main factor.

As I say in the last paragraph, the product matters most. And this is all
anecdotal, I really have no idea if the email helped. Though I'd like to think
so. :)

How many tech blogs did you send this particular email to? Apparently the only
blog who wrote about your app was "TUAW" (never heard of them).

Why Techcrunch didn't write about Dayta 2.0 as suggested in the title of your
submission?

Don't get me wrong, I think you are an awesome designer. I'm looking at your
portfolio and I'm totally blown away by your design skills but I'm just not
impressed by your copywriting skills. that's all. :)

TUAW is a huge Apple blog.

I've emailed you a pitch I have so far. Please take a look at it!

Oh God I sense an influx of these! Aha, awesome, I'll take a look and get back
to you soon.

Granted, I praised someone yesterday for providing an example of the email
they sent on TechCrunch, but not only was this email poorly worded and
verbose, but I feel like this blog post was prompted because of the one on
Hacker News yesterday. Perhaps you could provide an example of something more
original, such as a sample press release or how you handle customer service.
It's no use repeating the same topic the next day.

Actually, I wrote the blog post three days ago. Just a strange coincidence.
