Thanks for sharing this. It did indeed cross our minds that such a award sounds dubious (just by its title!). We've removed its reference. The other awards he has won are genuine and verified by us.
Thanks! I actually make use of the RSS to mail feature of Mailchimp (found that service very easy to use). I do have many subscribers with 3~4 mails a week going out to them. Will check out SendGrid.
I started out using mailchimp when I had less than 2000 subscribers. It worked great! But now that my mail list is growing, I find it increasingly expensive. Any recommendations on alternative providers?
