Email groups

How to build sending lists?

 

There are three major ways for building groups:

• Person oriented
• Permission oriented
• Purpose oriented

 

 

 

Person oriented

---

 

 

Building a person oriented email list is very intuitive. Simply create the widget, choose the same name as the group name, e.g. family, friends and colleagues, and fill up the list accordingly.

 

It's obvious what will happen when dragging and dropping pictures over a widget: the resized pictures will be sent to the described persons.

 

 

 

 

pros	cons
intuitive Building groups is very simple. Just put the persons where they belong.    easy to manage A person is in one list only.	need multiple drag & drop You need to to drag and drop the same picture over several widgets if  you want to send it to all persons

 

 

 

 

Permission oriented

---

 

 

Permission oriented grouping is a little bit harder to set up, but is usually easier to use later.

Create the widget according who has the right to see the pictures. So choose the name accordingly, e.g. "private", "protected", "can be shown".

Fill the mailing list. Enter the emails in one or more widgets. E.g. your wife will probably be in the list of "private", "protected" and "can be shown". Your best friend will probably be in "protected" and "can be shown". And your work colleagues will be only in "can be shown".

 

 

 

pros	cons
easy to use Just evaluate how private the picture is and share it. You drag the pictures in one widget only.	need a more complex setup Persons will be in one or more groups. Adding and managing requires more thinking.

  

 

 

Purpose oriented

---

 

 

Building purpose oriented email list is also very intuitive. Simply create the widget, choose the same name as the group name, e.g. British humor, Cat lover, Building our house, and fill up the list accordingly.

 

It obvious what will happen when dragging and dropping pictures over a widget. The resized pictures will be sent to the described persons.

 

 

 

pros	cons
intuitive Building groups is very simple. Just put the persons who have interest in the pictures.	no permission levels You may miss a sub grouping according privacy in the groups.

 

  

 

And mix all together?

---

 

You can mix the ways together. E.g. you can make a group "Building our house, family" or "Building our house, private".

 

Just remember to limit the number of widgets. If you setup a complex grouping, you may end with dozens of  widgets. Using JustResizeIt will be to complicated.

 

  

pros	cons
technically clean setting You can setup the lists with the precise granularity.	getting nowhere fast To many widgets may result in a headache.
