I used to do a newsletter (on paper, pre-computer era) and subscribe to a couple.
Cool -- what were the newsletters about?
I maybe think of my blog more in the genre of letters. I try to make it worth reading, but I place no requirements on it in terms of subject or structure. That's just expediency. It would be really nice to have more focus, but the wherewithal hasn't, so far, manifested.
Sending a newsletter feels like announcing something more purposeful. It feels like it ought to have some sort of focus -- maybe not a rigid one, but something more predictable.
What I like about podcasts, for example, is knowing that I'll get a specific kind of experience at regular intervals. I would love to do a podcast, but that is a hell of a lot more work. See under wherewithal.
