However, I am going to try Zookoda for one of my blogs - dailyboater.com - because I was looking for a solution to automatically broadcast out my new posts every day (or every week) when I first write the blog post. It seems like Zookoda will do this for me automatically once I configure all the settings the first time (I’m in the process of doing this now).

If I wanted to notify my subscribers every time a new post was entered on my Blog with ConstantContact, I would have to create a new email that would essentially duplicate what I already did in my blog program (I use blogger). I would have to do this manually. That would suck. Zookoda seems to eliminate that manual effort by pulling the feed directly from my blog, and it looks like it automatically refreshes or goes and searches for the latest post you made. You set it up to automatically send an email everyday at noon (or whatever time you choose). It looks like it will only send out an email to your subscribers if you have posted a new post - otherwise it won’t send anything (I need to confirm this).

Both companies insert their logo and a link to their service to the bottom of the emails that you send to your subscribers. The only difference is that Zookoda is totally free, so you don’t mind so much. As a paying user of ConstantContact, you can get their logo removed, but you have to call and request it.

Pricing:
ConstantContact’s tiered pricing is based on # of subscribers - It costs more than my website’s hosting account for even their smaller tiers, but no host offers the same functionality and access through the ISPs.

If I get hooked, I may be willing to pay Zookoda a couple of bucks a month to use their service. Their more direct competition (feedburner) is likely free, though I have not checked it out yet.

Zookoda is a private company and I suspect that Zookoda’s free blog-sending service may get picked up by Google (which also owns Blogger). However, Zookoda also offers a pay-per-post blog service which is somewhat controversial and my fly in the face of Google’s don’t be evil philosophy.
