I don't know who all used Microsoft's Listbot service to e-mail members of your site or to keep in contact with a large group of friends, but thousands did including me.
They ended the free service recently and said you gotta pay for it now.
Now they played it like some crack dealers, check the comparison...
*Offer you something for free that you may not need but might be worth trying (why not, it's free)
*Let em get used to it for a minute
*Cut off the free supply once you're hooked and need it to function (some people depend off these lists entirely)
*Then make you pay if you want to keep using it (who's gonna refuse, either you pay or you're out the game)
Now there's some other free options out there but none doing what Listbot was doing. So basically I had to give in and pay for my rocks...just call me Pookie now :)
