📑 Oh God, It’s Raining Newsletters
Email: The oldest networked publishing platform
Craig Mod takes a dive into the world of the newsletter. This includes an investigation of the platforms, as well as some ‘good people’ with newsletters. He makes an interesting observation that many writers are now doing their best work in newsletters. This makes me wonder how ‘newsletters’ as a form fit within the discussion of the development of blogs over time. Another post that is worth reading on the topic is Simon Owens’ ‘Email newsletters are the new zines’.
The move to newsletters is interesting Greg. Personally speaking, my newsletter is a habit for me to stop and reflect once a month. Also, I share it on my site (where you can subscribe via RSS), as well as via email.
