Well, I was just about to post the same URL. :)

In my experience, I have always gotten solid content from Jimmy
D. Brown and Ryan Deiss. Anyway, a couple interesting things
there already. I think the key to replacing an ezine with a blog
is keeping up the quality... and not starting to ramble. :) I
wonder how ( not if ) they will start charging when the content
builds up. ;)

There is one thing that bothers me... the tag line "The Web's
FIRST Internet Marketing Blog". That has to be wrong! Anybody
have links to other Internet marketing blogs? Perhaps, "The
Web's Most Focused Internet Marketing Blog" would be better. I
am pretty sure I have seen some marketing blogs... but they are
mixed with lots of personal stuff. I suspect ( or hope ) each
post at JB's and RD's blog will have some useful on topic
content... much like each ezine I *look forward* to receiving.

An interesting note here is that when Ryan Deiss discontinued
his newsletter ( http://www.sitesightings.com/ ), he touted this
as the new incarnation. He did it by "pre-selling" it over a few
emails, but not really saying it would be a blog... he made it
suspenseful. ;)
