Email Standards Project launched today. It’s all about bringing web standards support to e-mail clients by educating web designers and developers and a starting a dialogue with email client developers.
The current state of web standards support in email can best be described as dismal. It’s a throwback to the early days of the web with each client (both desktop and online) offering wildly varied levels of support for basic HTML and CSS. You can see the results of ESP’s client tests here.
It’s a grassroots movement spearheaded by the fine folks at Freshview, makers of Campaign Monitor, some of the easiest to use email newsletter software around.
Find out what you can do to help and follow the latest developments on the ESP blog.

This definitely falls into the “so bad it’s good” category: Arngren
I’m sort of impressed that they managed to achieve a layout like this using absolutely positioned DIVs.

Today was the last day of SXSW. Dean and I had enough time to squeeze in a session and a half this morning before we had to ditch and catch the plane.
I sat in on Customer Service is the New Marketing, a great session on how companies like Zappos and Flickr are going above and beyond to delight their customers. Great stuff that I hope to bring back to work. I got a chance to say hi to Heather from Flickr. Met Steven — who’s the Director of Product Management at Netflix — and let him know what I think of the company (all good stuff). I also ran into (and heaped some praise on) Ryan Carson, creator of DropSend, my favorite little email app for big packages.
Design Aesthetic of the Indie Developer was the last session of the day. I met Kevin Cornell and (I think) I had my eardrum blown out by Dan Mall, who was showing his love for Inman.
All in all a good day, slightly offset by our unexpected 6 hour stay in the Austin airport. A big ol’ storm in Texas put the breaks on all the flights in Dallas. We were supposed to land in KC around 5 — we hit the runway around 10:30. It’s good to be home.

Looking at the title of this video, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I was in for.
I was wrong… so so wrong.
If you’re brave enough to associate yourself with the video (and fight the good fight for net neutrality), you can nerd it up with your very own cotton billboard.

After a loooong hiatus (about 2-1/2 years by my watch) Sean’s reinvents reinvigorate, one of the best analytics tools I’ve had the pleasure of using. Like most things these days, it’s a closed beta. I got my invite out of the blue today — can’t wait to get the code going and check out the new features.
