Last night was a bit of a shocker and it’s been a total distraction for days. I’m having a hard time focusing on email and insight right now, as I’m sure lots of other people are.
All I can do today is share a picture of Grover… who is very happy after he stole my seat on the couch. And so comfortable I don’t have the heart to move him.
Had a wonderful time at the Email Innovations conference last week. Got a chance to see some familiar faces and meet a lot of new ones.
There is so much new and interesting and exciting stuff going on in the world of email. I think we’re hitting another period for real growth and innovation that’s going to change what we see in our inboxes and how we use email.
We’re 10 days out from Christmas, 9 days out from the end of binge-shopping-season (and 11 days out from return season). Unlike previous years, I haven’t heard of any significant delivery challenges. Most of what I’m hearing is the normal day-to-day stuff. There’s a little more of it, but nothing like in years past where ISPs melted down or giant companies got SBLed.
This is all good! This is progress and is great for senders.
Things here, and I’m pretty sure many other places are slowing down. We’re looking forward to next year, to new projects and clients, to new challenges and changes.
Blogging will probably be slow from now through the end of the year. I have stuff to talk about, but the issues are complex and I’m working on the best way to write about them. And I’m coming to the decision that writing might not be the best for certain posts.
Sorry for the unexpected break in blogging. Been dealing with some emergencies. Happy 4th to my fellow citizens. Happy late Canada day to all our northern friends. We’ll resume blogging next week.
