email newsletter – 'Cross The Breeze

As you might have ready I started with a new email newsletter called WARPED in which I curate some of the best ideas, data, trends and other awesomeness I came across the last week on the worldwide interwebs. You can read #1, #2 in the archive and #3 will arrive tomorrow – and if you like it sign up you can do so here.

The choice to do this in an email was simple. I can more easily share things than I can on this blog and it has a longer lifetime than links shared on Twitter. The decision to actually go with the email format was inspired by some other folks that have their own newsletters – and yes that you should all subscribe to.

Dispatch (Undercurrent): digital transformation
All The Small Things (Play): UX & digital interaction
Only Dead Fish (Neil Perkin): agily strategy
Sue (Sue Amsterdam): creative inspiration (in Dutch)
Strands of Genius (Rosie + Faris): general awesomeness

Other suggestions? Drop a note in the comments with name of the newsletter + link and tell us what it is about.

This internet thing has been one gigantic playground for me pretty much since the first day I got sucked into it sometime in 1997. Whether it was the projects and experiments that I could do for the different employers, the evolution of digital on its own and my own personal experimentations (such as this blog in 2005) the internet never stops to amaze me. Today I started out something new – although it’s kinda old. I’ve just sent out the first edition of WARPED, an email newsletter I will be sending out from now on on a weekly to bi-weekly basis. It felt like I needed a way to share interesting information, insights, ideas, … found around the internet to those interested in a way that is in between what this blog allows me to do on the one hand and sharing things on Twitter on the other. Hence the creation of WARPED.

WARPED #1 can be found right here and hopefully you’ll subscribe as a result, something you can do right here. Thanks for sharing! All feedback welcome.
