Newsletters Are Still Cool

It started with a mention:

Okay, who has tinyletters?

And I went and looked up TinyLetter

It’s simple. It’s as easy as writing a blog post and boom, you’ve sent a mail. In so far as that goes, it’s awesome.

It’s too simple. There isn’t a way to really automate it.

It’s really cool. It just works and sends out a nice, easy to read, email.

It’s really annoying. You have to get folks to sign up.

I really want to like it and use it, but I’m not sure I have a use case. Thanks to Jetpack, I push to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc, and my family sees the things. They sign up to Jetpack emails for in-boxes.

But if I needed a newsletter, I’d use TinyLetter.

I’m Mika (aka Ipstenu) and I’m complicated. I’ve been on the net since the days of dedicated terminals and Novation CAT modems and solved Missionaries and Cannibals (or Goats and Cabbages) before I was six, and blog about WordPress and technical/computer things at Half Elf on Tech.
