Pubmail: A newsletter app for messagepub
Artist Johnny Broadway needed a newsletter tool to connect with his fans. He is operating on a tight budget so he turned to messagepub to send his newsletters on the cheap:
…along comes a service called messagepub.com that provides not just email but also Twitter, Google Chat, AIM, text and phone messages for a fraction of the cost ($0.0015/email, and the first 5,000 are free!).
Johnny knows how to code so he wrote a newsletter application on top of messagepub using PHP. The application collects emails on his site and sends his newsletter emails via messagepub. He released the code under a Creative Commons license: github.com/jbroadway/pubmail.
To read more about pubmail, read his blog post or the README file for the project. While you are at it, take the time to listen to some of his songs!
If you’ve integrated messagepub with your application, send us an email at info [at] messagepub [dot] come. From time to time, we will highlight a project on this blog or on our twitter account.
