LetterPop Review

Here's a quick hypothetical for you: You're like the biggest Monk fan ever and you want to stay abreast of all the going-ons in the the life of it's lead actor after the show has finished, but somehow there isn't a Tony Shaloub fan-club. Somehow.

Somehow

 So, in failing to find a Tony Shaloub fan club, you decide to form one on your own. Maybe after Monk Shaloub had guest appearance on NCIS as a corpse? Maybe you just want a forum to talk about how much you loved Thirteen Ghosts? I don't know, and more importantly I'm not judging you. What we need to talk about is how you're going to keep all of the members of your fan club up to date on all the exciting developments in Tony Shaloub's life.

Why, a monthly newsletter of course.

That's where LetterPop comes in! LetterPop is a website devised to make it easy and "fun" to write, publish and distribute a newsletter and comes with a suite of features to that end. For starters, there are hundreds of templates to choose from to make sure your Newsletter conveys the gravity Tony Shaloub demands. LetterPop also comes pre-loaded with literally six stock images for you to populate the barren empty spaces between your text. You can also upload your own pictures, but this feature didn't seem to function very well. I'm not sure if the picture I chose was just too big or if the function is just not available to non-subscribers, but the bottom line is that my newsletter didn't feature a Shaloub picture.

After you're done writing the newsletter up, it's time to publish it and send it out. I didn't get a chance to try these features because you have to pay $4.95 to actually do anything with the newsletter you create, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they work perfectly because wow six pictures.

So, publish and E-Mail your newsletter! Just make your subscribers turn off their spam filters! Because seriously? Newletters? What year is this?

I got to use three features on this website and one of them didn't work properly. $4.95 is too much to pay for something that generates newsletters. Newsletters are outdated and stupid. Also, here's a link to a Chrome App that does the same thing for free.

Thumbs Down.
