Unfortunately I can't make everyone happy, that's life.
All I know is I used to get a number of emails a week complaining about various things with the old time, and now that has stopped....(waiting for the new email complaining campaign to begin )
I don't see the option in Google Feedburner to give users the option to control the time.
I don't even like the whole daily email concept anyway, it took Eli harassing me I think to put it up there (apparently he was right as there are 1,700 subscribers to a feature I don't even push)...why not just use twitter or rss?
Dont have twitter, dont have facebook, etc.
RSS is convenient when on a computer. It was always nice to wake up, and see the email as i go through my hundreds of emails every morning on my bb. It was so easy to open up and get a synopsis of what was just posted a few hours earlier while the rest of the world was sleeping.
Do you not agree that most of your posts are made at around midnight? Doesnt it seem pointless to send out an email summarizing the daily posts 18 hours after they were posted? Wouldnt it make more sense to send it out right after you make the bulk of your posts?
It used to come at 6 AM CST which is 7 AM EST. That woke people up? Aside from the fact that they have to learn to turn the phone off before going to bed, most people who are a part of society are up by then or are getting up then.
I understand that you dont even see the function of it, but clearly it is useful to people (like me). As "useless" as it is. how could it possibly make sense to send the email 18 hours after you post the deals?
To top it off- Almost every company in the world sends their emails overnight. I always have a huge inbox every morning full of junk...but the DD email is the kicker huh? Thats the bad one "waking" people up? The other ones arrive silently?
If an email is waking them up, that means they have a smartphone with lots of capabilities including changing the profiles that ring/vibrate for various things.
