which while i understand and concur with your hatred of unsolicited sales emails, is the point of them :) much the same as ads on TV, i don't want to see then but if im going to be forced to, at least don't make them offend my eyes,

(not much can be said for badly designed marketing messages though)

I wouldn't recommend fluid layouts with email, most email clients are stuck on HTML 3.2 and have limited CSS support.

yeah I wasn't aware that Io was as old as it is, which makes my rash judgment all the more rash, but I still feel that way about many of the (relatively) new languages mentioned on HN every now and then

Seems to me that there are tonnes of new languages being developed all over the place, I wish they'd have a short list of intended uses/features... but not just all the features, rather the ones that are the selling point, why should I investigate this language further.

a company that I've worked with indirectly, they market themselves as an SEO company, but a lot of it is copy-writing for web as well, or they will have specific recommendations I'm sure: http://www.mackerelmedia.co.uk/

wow that looks brilliant (from what I can see), do you think its at all useful to people that actually know javascript? or is it more of a tool for those that dont/are learning?

More great stuff from Sencha. They really are doing great things from web app development, and open source with Sencha Labs.

agreed, it's not pleasant thats for sure

brilliant little post, i enjoyed it; dispite some comments here seeming to lack a sense of humour

yeah i agree with other peoples mention of lists vs solid copy, and i think a nice combination of headline font and body copy font would help, at the moment everything is very same same.

it looked pretty screwed in FF4, didnt know where to click, or what to read

thats great! signed up as soon as i looked at one of the previous newsletters.
