Thank you! would you please consider perhaps reviewing FlashIssue? it helps people quickly create social newsletters / digests / tweetletters from their blog posts / other blogs / sites / anything in minutes by curating (more like your facebook timeline than an email...)

Would you please tell us your impression from the user experience?

http://flashissue.com

Also we have a very nice chrome extension that makes your gmail emails "facebook status" like, e.g. you grab articles and put in email more like a facebook timeline (with title, snippet and thumbnail + source attribution) it also works with the web app but I think it's the first "curator" clipper for gmail, here is the link

We use it internally all the time and it saves time and gets the email look much more professional than just a link... (better click rates as well)

Thanks!

I'd be happy to give this a try. The clipping tool for newsletters sounds particularly interesting. I send emails to my members as a block of text (without much fanfare).

I'll give this extension a try this weekend and see how people like a different format. I'm not sure how soon I'll have results regarding the newsletter, but will definitely critique the experience. :)

I didn't forget about this. My in-laws surprised us this weekend and I didn't have the time I originally anticipated. If you'd like to touch bases with me via email (in profile), I can follow up with you later this week.

Thanks for understanding.
