What's your initial impression on the new replacement newsletters being delivered to your inbox?
My personal opinion is that I think that something has been lost in the transition; both the newsletter and the Business Bricks community has suffered, if only temporarily. Not only has the focus of the newsletter completely changed, but I think the content could be rewritten to be more user-friendly and better targetted at the wider readership.
Previously, Matt's newsletters were philosophical almost; applicable to most small business owners with some personal interpretation. Whilst Emyr's newsletters are a lot more practical they tend to be focused on those people who run websites and are fluent enough in technical jargonese to be able to appreciate them.
From a technical point of view and as a web developer, I've found some of the content to be inaccurate. I can only hope that Business 121 start applying some of the advice that has been handed out previously by the Business Bricks newsletters.
