More SAS tips coming to your inbox

When it comes to e-mail-based newsletters, I'm of two minds. On one hand, I feel like I receive enough (or maybe too much) e-mail and I'm reluctant to clog up my inbox with more stuff -- especially if it's information that's located elsewhere (such as on that big backup drive that we call "the Internet").

But on the other hand, I don't usually have time to go searching the Web for stuff that might someday be useful to me, or even to pay regular visits to the sources that I know will have good information (such as blogs and discussion forums). If someone collected some of the best tidbits from these sources and delivered them to me -- even in e-mail -- I think that would be useful. Do you agree?

We know from experience that SAS users love to see tips about how to do more with SAS. So we got to thinking: What if we curated an e-mail newsletter that was ALL SAS tips? Where all of the content was coming from the "hey, we bet you didn't know this" category?

We're making that happen, beginning this month. It's called SAS Tech Report: Tips Extra. It contains tips -- some from SAS staff and some from the larger SAS community -- to save you time and expand your mind. If you subscribe to the SAS Tech Report newsletter already, then do nothing -- you'll receive it automatically. If you don't yet subscribe, then visit the e-Newsletters section of www.sas.com and click the link to sign up. It's free, of course -- all you need is a SAS profile (which you probably already have if you participate in communities.sas.com or interact with SAS Technical Support).

I hope that you like the content, and that you appreciate it showing up in your inbox. And if you have feedback or ideas for topics to feature, let me know here in the comments.
