My Favourite Newsletters

Like many people, I have signed up to quite a few email newsletters. Here are a few of my favourites:

Popbitch - Showbiz gossip. Bitchier than OK and Hello put together, this is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Arrives on Thursdays.

B3TA - Links to very surreal websites, made by the B3TA crew and friends, and a selection of the best other websites out there. Compulsive reading which arrives on Fridays.

Crypto-Gram - A much more serious newsletter, but one that is no less compelling reading. Written by security expert Bruce Schneier, this monthly newsletter has easy to understand articles on the most important security and cryptography issues of the day. Arrives on the 15th of the month.

The Onion - A much talked about satirical news newsletter, The Onion lives up to it's reputation and more. From the cynical and cutting to just plain silly, there is something for everyone in the Onion's email. Arrives on Mondays.

The Silicon.com weekly roundup - One for the Geek, this email contains the pick of the weeks tech stories, written in a light hearted and usually funny format. I havent been able to get this one without the almost daily news emails that come with it, but the weekly roundup is worth the junk. Arrives on Fridays.

The BBC daily email - Customised daily news headlines from around the world. This allows you to go directly to stories that interest you without having to trawl the site daily to see if there is any news.

The Google Newsletter - Essential if you work as a webmaster to keep up with the latest development in the industry. Of course you will probably know most of the stuff in the newsletter way in advance of it arriving, but it is nice to hear stories direct from the horses mouth.

Feel free to recommend any great newsletters that you recieve, and I hope you enjoy some of these!
