Shareaza launches newsletter
p2pnet.net News:- “Thought you and the p2pnet readers might be interested to know that Shareaza now has a newsletter,” says Alex H.
“Mostly a simple breakdown of discussions on the Shareaza forums, we’re looking forward to bringing a brief run-down on hot forum topics, so people short on time can still get an idea of what’s going on.
“News about Betas and Release versions of Shareaza as and when they are available will be included in there too.’
You’ll find the first Shareaza Newsletter here:
Cheers, guys!
Great job : )

It’s in the spirit of the Debian Weekly News which you can read here: http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/
As a community it is good to help the spread of information in many different ways so that everyone no matter their level of interest (be it fanboy or casual, curious visitor) in the community can become involved in it and keep up to date.
Also it is Shareaza not “Sharaza”. Sharaza is some sort of spyware program that is completely unrelated to Shareaza. I’d suggest you brush up on capitalization and punctuation as well.

capitalization and punctuation is irrelavent to the point I made. But I’m glad you are so well versed in the ways of microsoft word’s grammar check, which Im sure you checked every which way so you could make your lame point.

Well, they don’t seem to have many news to report in the first place (judging from their first issue). Looks more like some lame advertisement and an excuse for getting some coverage on p2pnet.

“Well, they don’t seem to have many news to report in the first place (judging from their first issue).”
Thats not the point. Its only meant to be a run-down of recent happenings with Shareaza development. Shareaza is certainly not the first project to do this.
“Looks more like some lame advertisement and an excuse for getting some coverage on p2pnet.”
And Shareaza is the only client to do this, I suppose? I see LimeWire in the news often enough for trivial things. And what about when BearShare got partial filesharing? ’bout time!

P2P news in general is trivial.

It saddens me that we as a society have gotten so cynical. Questioning the motives of a free, open source, not-for-profit community. There are other for profit p2p *companies* that have multiple people in their marketing department whose soul job is to get their program noticed by as many people as possible so that they can make more money. This is not the case here. It is a public service to the Shareaza community and perhaps if people who aren’t part of the community are interested they will find it informative or enjoyable as well.
Maybe it being posted on P2PNET wasn’t the best thing but that’s for P2PNET to decide what content they want to publish.
