I was just chatting to Nick Duddy @ Equator and he was telling me about the ‘Gmail Grimace‘ thing going on over at the Email Standards Project. I’ve recently been getting more and more into Email Marketing as a way to generate sales and have been amazed at the difficulties that email marketers are having with different mail clients have with emails (think IE Vs Firefox web design problems on a far larger scale and your probably still not close to the problems they can have). Can you imagine having to do all your styles inline and design in tables – its so retro.
They even have a gmail Grimace Flickr Group – which is cool. At last something on Flickr which actually interested me!
