Newsletter Poll

[Drew Dowdell]

I am looking for feedback on the newsletters we have been sending weekly for the last month or so.  Please let me know your thoughts in the poll and the comments section below.

 

If you have not been receiving the new newsletter, you can subscribe to the weekly newsletter at this link.

Overall I love the newsletter, only thing I can think of is a consolidated summary at the beginning so one could see what all is in the newsletter and not topics. I end up flipping through the newsletter to see what all is there, I would love to see a chart at the beginning showing what all has gone on in the forums.

What do you mean by a chart?

Currently I look at it and we have the list of stories and what I see as a traditional news letter, nice but I am thinking especially for smartphone use, if we have a chart at the top that lists all the hot stories and links so it jumps to those stories, people can then choose what they want to read rather than scroll down. I know in my engineering test cases, I always use excel and at the top of the document have a spreadsheet listing out what all is in the document and links so you can jump to what is of interest to you.

 

Hope this makes sense, I am operating on 2 hrs of sleep so sorry if it is not clear.

So you want a list of stories without the picture and teaser text?

That is my thinking for having it be more mobile friendly. List of the stories and then you can have an expanded section with pictures and brief overview below for people on computers and tablets. 

 

Just trying to think on how we can cover both the mobile smartphone phablet area and the desktop/laptop/tablet users.
