Hi Jason,
I'm a real fan of your podcasts, TWIST and the new VC podcast. Just
writing to ask if you might be interested in placing these five
cartoons about blogging (attached) as one post in your newsletter.
I'm hoping you may have been a reader of User Friendly: The Comic
Strip at some point in time. Illiad wrote the strip for 12 years
beginning in 1997. The site quickly became the most popular webcomic.
It was getting 15,000,000 monthly page views at its peak. But last
year Illiad penned his last strip.
The news now is that UF has launched their first app in Apple's store.
This app contains the first few weeks of the strip, back when Illiad
had no idea his doodling would become so popular.
I thought many of your readers would really get much fun out of seeing
this short series of later cartoons. Many of the people listening to
your podcasts and reading your newsletter are trying to get their word
out with blogs. I've not yet heard you talk specifically about the
frustrations of trying to get links -  this is what these cartoons
portray, in a very funny way.
cheers,
