NewsLetters
Newsletters, which are normally sent directly to your inbox, come in two basic flavors.
Many sites (or the company behind the site)
create a newsletter to generate user visits to their site and to generate interest
in the products they have to offer. In contrast, some individuals also create newsletters
to generate revenue (they may also have a site, but sale of the newsletter is the point of focus).
There tends to be a lot of site/company newsletters (various degrees of usefulness, or currency),
but there are far fewer individual newsletters.
Unfortunately, there are no QBasic-specific newsletters.
However you should find the following newsletters of interest. These cover computers,
software and programming,
The challenge of newsletters is to provide frequent (daily/weekly) emails
to users where each newsletter contains content that will be useful to the recipients. This
especially means current information (usually technical). The newsletters generally try to
create some sense of community, provide some sense of humor, humanize the site/owner, and
provide (positive) feedback from readers of the newsletters.
While I find that newsletters often cover information that I've seen mentioned elsewhere, they
also provide enough new material, particularly in-depth coverage of topics, to make it worth
my while to read them.
If you have any suggestions on newsletters to add to this list, please let me know.
