Washington Post replaces e-mail newsletter with blog, RSS

Rob Pego­raro announced this morn­ing that his news­pa­per, the Wash­ing­ton Post, will replace the Fast For­ward newslet­ter with a blog called Faster For­ward.

Fast For­ward was started as an e-mail newslet­ter in 1995. The Post’s mail sys­tem couldn’t sup­port a mail­ing list, so the writ­ers used an exter­nal e-mail address.

The arti­cle about the blog also includes a brief dis­cus­sion of RSS, which the Post is using on its web sites. See my ear­lier posts on http://billso.com/2007/01/23/whats-all-this/ and http://billso.com/2006/09/23/what-is-rss-2/
