Whiteboard from Starting an Email Newsletter.
Before they start one, we run through a brief history of internet publishing. (Not shown: pivot to video.)
This week is Part 2: Substack and Its Discontents.
So today we read through

TinyLetter had a big moment
A golden era for newsletters in the pre-Substack days.
Also talked about: Crooked Timber, blogrolls, Technorati, xoJane, Jezebel, Sassy, Serial and the MailKimp preroll ad, Peter Thiel, Gawker (, Hulk Hogan, Bubba the Love Sponge…), Disqus, and RSS feeds
A walk down memory lane…
