Email is a great thing, I use it heavily. Why newsletters doens't work for me:

1. I don't want to give my email. 2. I don't want to receive spam. 3. I don't like long letters with massive amount of different news (even in single domain).

In my view newsletters/digests take more time to read and I prefer to receive small pieces of topics more often (what I'm interested in specifically, not whole the editor choice) than to recevie bunch of them on weekly basis.

1&2: Get yourself a domain, hand out randomhash@myself.com

Bonus points, you get independence from your email provider, so if Google or whatever decides to delete your account spuriously you don't die digitally.
