• The lead story of Steal This List! 100 Subject Lines That Will Get Your Emails Opened is a story for the times: Solid, quick, actionable advice that's fun to read, to boot. It's available to paid members only, but it's worth the few bucks. Trust me.

• Twitter has been getting a lot of attention these days, and Michael Stelzner weighs in with a level-headed look at Twitter's underbelly in his riff on the "dark side." This one's free, useful and plenty interesting, too. (And I'm not just saying that because he interviewed me for it.)

• And here's one more... Stephanie Miller launches a regular monthly series on "What Works" in email by highlighting an intriguing but spot-on program by Sears. Stephanie is the Email Queen in my book, and she doesn't disappoint in this article.

So what else? Well, plenty. So get reading... and as always, let me know what you think. I love to hear from you.

Here's the weekly update: As of yesterday, 10,761 of you registered to attend Digital Marketing World, featuring keynote David Plouffe. As my Midwest friends would ask, "Are you coming with?"

p.s. One last thing: Are you on Twitter? We are, too! Follow me, CEO Allen Weiss, or Seminar Den Mother Shelley Ryan.
