To me "notify" signifies a "one off" email saying "hey, we're live". I think the "click here to continue to be on the list" is more polite than "click here to unsubscribe" in this case. What would be better still would be to spell out the s

In your post you mention that the figures are gross revenue. While people seem to be (understandably?) reluctant to talk publicly about profit rather than revenue what's your thoughts on focussing on revenue rather than profit when talking

You should consider promoting this more widely. Bloglines is closing at the end of the month and there's multiple people who aren't happy with using Google Reader for various reasons. I'd be happy with a nice online RSS reader with no intel

I'm intrigued by the issues raised by selling a company which has personal data like in the case of NDB. When you sold NDB did you have any concerns about how the new owners would treat members and their data? Knowing what has happened sinc
