Count down to Demo Day and search Bookface from your Omnibox.

Bookface Companion: Count-Down to Demo Day & Omnibox Search

'Bookface Companion' is a handy extension for Chrome users. It not only offers a count-down clock to the much anticipated demo day but also facilitates seamless Bookface searches straight from your Omnibox. In addition, it provides an optional integration of a Bookface user sidebar within your Gmail thread views. This tool, while seemingly simple, is critically effective in establishing and maintaining a sense of urgency. The countdown feature was developed by YC alum Fouad Matin.

I wish I could turn off the countdown - either just showing days left or getting rid of that text altogether.
