Blog Newsletters

I’ve noticed a few blogs out there who publish email newsletters to accompany their blogs. Slashdot does it. Darren over at Problogger.net does it. Others use email alert services like (I’ll fill in the url as soon as I find it).

So tell me, how are the newsletters doing for your sites?

Some people would probably scoff at adding an email newsletter in this day and age of spam filters, web 2.0 and RSS, but considering the massive amount of people who still rely on email as their communication and content reading vehicle of choice, I’m seriously considering adding newsletters to some of my sites.

Gmail Irkage

I’m getting kind of irked with Gmail lately. The service is absolutely stellar but it’s been down a lot lately.

I switched to them as my main email address a few months back because of their spam filtering and other cool features, that translate into benefits for me. I even forward my email from a couple of domains to the Gmail acct.

But jeez, it’s irritating when you have important email sitting there, you can see the subject line and sender, but a little popup tells you to try again in a few minutes when you click on it.

Sheesh!

You know a medium is hot when…

…larger companies take notice and tailor new ad products to that new medium, like what CafePress and a myriad of others are now doing.

What makes blog networks so special?

What makes blog networks so special?

Yeah I know, for me, the owner of a small network (I think) to be asking something like this is absurd, but bear with me for a minute here.

I’m seeing tons of networks popping up, only a few of which have anything notable in their portfolios.

Maybe I should have asked this question instead: What makes any of your blogs worth noting? or: Would any one or more of your blogs be able to survive and thrive outside your network?

XYZ blog network just launched 17 more blogs, for a total of 66. “We now have 90 blogs in the network.”

Tell me something. How many destinations do you have? How many Anchor Sites do you have.

Separate any one of your blogs from it’s symbiotic relationship with the network and tell me, honestly, will it live?

How the heck and who the heck is giving all those blogs the exposure and voice they need to ‘be all they can be’?
