Sign Up For The New InformationWeek Blog Newsletter We've been filling out our roster of great writers on the InformationWeek Blog, and broadening the range of subjects we cover, paying particular attention to beefing up the enterprise coverage we've historically excelled at. We're proud of that -- but we also know that the sheer volume makes it hard to keep up. Heck, even I find it hard to keep up, and it's my job. We're launching a product pretty soon that should help you keep up: The weekly InformationWeek Blog Newsletter, going live May 6, will give you headlines, links, and brief descriptions of about a dozen of the best and most popular blog posts for the preceding weeks. The newsletter will provide concise, precise, and on-target insights into companies such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, Apple, and Oracle, and in key technology areas including virtualization, storage, security, mobility, green computing, and enterprise software. E-mail newsletters don't get a lot of love. They're just about the oldest channels for distributing information on the Internet; the technology was mature when the Web was young. E-mail newsletters aren't sexy -- but they work really well, they're very popular, and newsletter readers find them to be extremely efficient ways of keeping up on news and information. And e-mail newsletters have new life on a new generation of mobile devices, such as BlackBerrys and Apple iPhones (we've taken special care to make sure the newsletter works well on mobile devices, especially those two). Don't miss out, sign up on the subscriptions page now, and look for your first delivery May 6 and once a week thereafter. Do you subscribe to e-mail newsletters? Which ones are you favorites? Let us know. Mitch Wagner[email protected]www.informationweek.com |
