However, I am a blogger. Is there any email application that is designed specifically for bloggers?

Now there is one. Zookoda provides email newsletter service for free! Zookoda enables you to send a daily, weekly or monthly summary of your latest blog posts directly into your visitors inbox. And most importantly, it is FREE!

We know how important it is to post regularly in our blog. It is the way to encourage visitors coming back to visit the blog. However, how do we inform people about our posting?

I have both in this blog – RSS feeds and emails. In addition to the usual, Zoodoka provides an alternative way to broadcast your blog post, at a frequency that you specify.

Zookoda also use an auto-opt-in method to save you time. You don’t have to manually accept or decline a subscription. Zookoda does it all for you. You can choose a template design for your email, or customize one.

Traffic tracking is important. By analysing the click, open, and bounce rate, you can unlock a lot of hidden information about your newsletters!

And who hates spam? Everybody does! All emails sent via Zookoda are spam compliant. No worries anymore!

Not a surprise at all, Zookoda enables you to:

• Manage your email list
• Design your own email to match your blog’s design
• View Traffic Report, real time
• Newsletter subscription form for your blog
• Control broadcast frequency
• Email in text format

And guess what, it is free!

The Google App Engine applications are easy to build and maintain.  You do not need to maintain your own server or hosting, as Google generously provides 500MB space for free.  All you have to do is to upload the application, and it would be done.  You can use a free domain name from appspot.com, or your own domain.   You can also choose to share the finished application with the world or limit it to just yourself.

Did I mention free?  Same as most of the other Google applications, having an account is free.  The bandwidth should allow you do serve about 5 million page views a month, according to Google.

At this stage only free accounts are available.  However, in the near future, you would probably be able to purchase more disk space.

Other features include (but not limited to):

• Sandbox – The sandbox isolates your application in its own secure, reliable environment that is independent of the hardware, operating system and physical location of the web server.
• Python Runtime Environment – The App Engine only supports Python at the moment.  It is running Python 2.5.2.
• Datastore – App Engine provides a powerful distributed data storage service that features a query engine and transactions. Just as the distributed web server grows with your traffic, the distributed datastore grows with your data.
• Google Accounts – You can of course associate your application with your Google account.
• URL & Fetch Service – Applications can access resources on the Internet, such as web services or other data, using App Engine’s URL fetch service.
