The Death of e-Mail Marketing

Finishing the First Round

This is a response to John's last and final article regarding the "Death of e-Mail Debate". It seems John has had enough of our little battle and to tell you the truth, in a way, I've had enough as well ... just probably not in a manner you would expect. But more on that in the next article ...

The Death of eMail Debate: My Final Comments

Rather than continue the exchange ad infinitum, I am going to make some final comments to summarize my own views on this discussion and then move on to other topics.

RSS and E-mail: The Truth Shall Set You Free
