eNewsletters

• Newsletters - In the public newsletters, nearly anyone can freely subscribe, however, only the moderator or list owner actually sends mailings to subscribers. In a private newsletter, the moderator controls both subscriptions and mailings.
• Discussion groups – Usually these are discussions via eMail. Each person's emailed comments are distributed to every other subscriber. In moderated lists, the moderator filters unnecessary information, and only passes on the sufficient contributions. You can keep the number of daily messages under control, by subscribing to a digest version of the discussion, which is sent once a day.

Discussion Groups

These groups can have a lot of impact, be very educational, and provide a sense of community bridging. Lots of businesses set up a "user groups" that contain contributors that are familiar with their products and services. Sometimes company representatives, as well and other experts, share information with the less experienced. Such groups not only build customer loyalty, but also provide an opportunity of awareness or indirect advertising. Those who contribute or moderate the discussion are building an excellent reputation to themselves as individuals and to their company. These discussion groups can sometimes have several thousand participants.
