Hello! This is the first in a series of posts where we take a short look at what the email marketing industry has been talking about in the recent past.

Big news this week with Google’s announcement of two quite major changes to their Gmail service: auto-loaded images for certain senders, and the new one-click unsubscribe feature. This has huge impacts on the email marketing industry, so pretty much every blog out there has had something to say about it.

Elsewhere, social networking has remained in the email marketing spotlight:

• Twitter bring SMS back online for O2 customers
• Social Media Events – How things have changed!
• Facebook for All Ages
• Using LinkedIn for Lead Generation: 6 Lessons

That’s it for now, but check back soon for another roundup of what people have been posting about in the email marketing blogosphere.
