iMakeNews is a for-pay (starting at $29.95/month) web app for publishing email newsletters.
Sounds like they have some pretty sophisticated technology behind it, too. According to this DMNews article, "Technically, the newsletter system can adapt to e-mail recipients' hard drive capabilities by reading the computer's faculties and presenting the content in HTML or plain text." Um...right. As to why one would want to send a newsletter at all, vice president of marketing and sales at iMakeNews.com, Jeff Mesnik, said, "Newsletters have been the most effective marketing tool since the beginning of time." Yes, everyone knows the big brands of today were built with newsletters, not TV, as commonly thought. Snarkiness aside, I like the idea of for-pay web apps that serve basic business needs. And this seems like an interesting one. (The copy on the site is much better: "Newsletters work, but they are downright painful to produce. iMakeNews lets you easily and efficiently manage the entire newsletter publishing cycle, from structure to content to distribution to feedback, and to do it all again.")
