Email Poll Do Over

OR HOW THE DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK

Almost a month ago, I asked readers, "What program do you use to collect email addressees and stay connected with your fans?". After getting a couple of dozen great responses, I was ready to turn them into a poll and they we're gone!  Every single comment was missing.  I contacted my blog provider Typepad, but so far they have not been able to help.

So I'm apologetically asking for a do over.  Email programs to connect with fans come in all shapes and sizes, and cost anything from free to hundreds of dollars a month.  Which email program works best for you?

The Rules:

1. Let us know the name of the email program that you use in the Comments Section. Sharing why you like it and a url is great, but not required.
2. We'll count up the top programs and put together a formal poll later this week for you to vote on. We reserve the right to add a company or two to the poll if some of the most popular programs are not included.
3. We'll share the results in a special post with links to and reviews of the top programs.

What program do you use to collect email addressees and stay connected with your fans?
