Emails are back
By Tim Hards | May 27, 2011
Last month I gave subscribers to the Perspector mailing list a little surprise. After a year’s absence, I have started sending “newsletter” emails again. According to my count this is the 3rd restart! Here’s hoping I’ll make it stick 4th time around.
Notice that I put “newsletter” in quotes. As is fairly common for product newsletters, the content will be tip-heavy, with just the occasional notice of some news. It’s really a “tips and occasional news email”, but “newsletter” is easier.
What’s the difference between this blog and the newsletter? The newsletter will be semi-regular, i.e. I won’t send out one newsletter so soon after another (at least a month or so apart), whereas blog posts will be made when I have something to say.
Because many Perspector users only see the newsletter, I will make this fairly focussed. That’s not an issue for the blog, so I’m going to be posting bits of things as they come.
As an example, I’m currently working with a user on creating a tube-map style image. This will be written up for the newsletter, but I hope to be posting bits of it here as I go. For example, I will include detail about the options that were dropped.
The next “newsletter” will be sent next week. If you want to catch it, sign up.
