Conversant mailing list interface
A new Conversant feature I worked on has been rolled out — the Mailing list interface. Conversant’s email integration is one of it’s most compelling features, but until now it lacked a good easy to use central list manager, to let admins see who is subscribed and change member email settings. I know I’ll be using it a lot.

This rules, Greg. I tried it out yesterday, and it’s wonderful. It’s good to see some of Conversant’s awe-inspiring muscle becoming a bit more accessible. Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks Greg! I was someone disappointed to see only 15 people other
than myself subscribed. The good news is a lot of them use the list in
both directions, and there are people who contribute to the discussion
who aren’t on the list, but far fewer than 5% of the members are
subscribed. Bummer.

Why is that a bummer?

Because it means that only a couple of people have subscribed since the
last time i asked you how many were subscribed, and that was so long
ago I can’t even remember when it was.

You know…looking at your site, that’s not terribly surprising. You have a “signup” and “logon” link on the home page — but no links or information indicating that an email subscription is available. Most people would not assume that or try to figure it out.

Oops…I lied, you do…I just didn’t see it at first.

You didn’t see it, and were looking for it. That’s significant.

Right. It should be with all membership related links in one place if you want people to find it.
