Gizmo's Tech Support Alert Newsletter Merges with Windows Secrets
iphigenie:
I think the target public of the newsletter is different, and perhaps it can grow to the quality of your typical glossy pc magazine, minus the pointless reviews. I am far too interested and far too involved/advanced as a user for this to have value for me. Especially when several of the articles really taste of rehash from feeds I read, and others smell of sponsored content (perhaps they are not, i am naturally suspicious having worked in b2c and b2b publishing long enough).
But i wouldnt have posted here except i got 2 emails today to make me renew - that kind of annoyed me enough to come and see what others were saying, and say something too.
Curt:

Thanks Curt. :) I wonder if anybody will send me an invite? I also wonder if I'll respond should I get one.
Observation:
Why does Windows Secrets have to make getting something for free such a project? Step 1, step 2, step 3...so much for instant gratification.
Why not just do up a special issue or two, and provide a link to them on their website?
Things like this keep hammering home to me just how different Windows Secrets' mindset is from the old TSA.
