Description:

Important note: The Urbach Letter is not a commercial publication. I've never benn compensated in any way by the providers of the products and services mentioned in this letter;they're recommended because I use them personally, or believe them to be the best. Please add me to your address book now to keep our line of communication open in the future. This is Goodbye I'm pulling the plug on the Urbach Letter, and this is the final issue. Victor Urbach isn't going away, but you won't be seeing this particular email in your inbox anymore. I have something very different planned and I hope you'll join me in a new adventure starting in 2014. I started writing this letter in July of 2002. Since then, so much has changed in the world. But this newsletter hasn't; it isn't much different in appearance and function than the very first issue. So, it's WAY overdue for not just a makeover, but for a total reimagining. I'll still communicate with you (if you so choose), but it'll be in a very different format and venue. Issue #1 If you are curious how I got started, this letter grew out of several for-profit print newsletters I wrote for niche industries and professions throughout the 1990's. I always wanted to write one that had no real constraints or obligations to anyone. I wanted to pick the things that interested and amused me personally, and share them with friends and associates in an original way. However, this newsletter format has some severe limitations. It's very unidirectional, from me to you, when the nature of communication has evolved to be much more dialog-based. It's very lumpy, unloading a whole bunch of information all at once each month, when the preference of many is to get their info in more bite-size pieces, more frequently. The current implementation of this newsletter is not at all mobile-friendly. It's designed to be consumed on a big screen, when the overwhelming trend is to consumption on phones and small tablets. Clearly, it's time for this bird to fly off, and for the Urbach Letter to evolve to a different species. Article Archive I'm proud to say that in 11.5 years of publishing this letter, I've never missed a month.

Stay tuned. Good things will happen... P.S. If this turns out to be a convenient time for YOU to pull the plug, that's OK too.
