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?

Reader Poll: What Email Program Do You Use To Connect With Fans?

UPDATE: Please participate in an updated poll here.

What program do you use to collect email addressees and stay connected with your fans?  They come in all shapes and sizes and cost anything from free to hundreds of dollars a month.  Which one 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.

Poll: Bob "The Bruiser" Lefsetz vs. Gene "Kiss My Ass" Simmons

Music pundit Bob Lefsetz and Kiss' Gene Simmons have been going at each other lately online and in person (full video).  Personally I'm siding with Bob. Both are smart men who are certainly full of themselves. But Bob still knows where his heart his and the beneficiaries of his rants are the fans and the music. With Gene, its only about his crotch and his wallet.

Who do you think is the winner of the Simmons Lefsetz smackdown?
