Emails You’d Want to See in Your Inbox

December 6, 2007 — Mrs. Mecomber

Ever since I was a newbie, I’ve been interested in forums, tech help sites, and tutorial sites. It wasn’t too easy finding them, though. It took a lot of searching back then to find good sites.

Nowadays, there’s a glut of help and tutorial sites (of which I am thankful). But did you know that you can receive great information in your email inbox? I’m talking about subscribing to computer “e-zines.” My two favorites are the daily emails from Kim Komando and WinXPNews.

I loved Kim Komando‘s Tips email– I looked forward to them every morning. Now that I have a lot of years and experience under my belt, they aren’t as helpful. But they are still very good, and I try to read them when they interest me and when I have time. They are excellent for newer computer users. Kim keeps things very simple, and she makes herself personally available to help out users with specific problems. You can sign up for her free emails at her website. There are several to choose from, or get all of them! Her message boards are also a very good way to get to know the computer world a little better.

Another helpful email I get is from WinXPNews. I’ve been receiving these for a few years now. They cover topics that are a little more advanced, so they keep me challenged. They’ve recently expanded their subscription service to include VistaNews, an email solely about Vista issues. I haven’t opted in to receive that one, as I don’t have Vista and so far, I haven’t been impressed enough to buy it. I’m sticking with XP for a while. If I ever do choose another operating system, it will be Ubuntu.

I also get emails from CNet, because I’m a download junkie. I’m not terribly impressed with their emails, though. Wired is another good site but I haven’t gotten around to signing up with them, yet. I’m pleased with what I have right now, anyway.

So if you are hankering for some down-to-earth information to make you a better and more informed computer user, I recommend getting emails. It also helps to read the emails.

According to internet marketing, before anything, internet safety comes first. This means that all the policies of web marketing should revolve around safety for us as well as others. Since long, people have associated risks with email marketing. This is why internet marketers charges are increasing, since everyday they are coming up with a new marketing solution that suits everyone.
