Hello All, Normally we shy away from putting emails onto public groups as we know it's generally considered to be bad form. Unfortunately for all Ultimate companies it's extremely difficult to find ways to advertise in a sport that is inherently non-commercial in it's roots. It's a tough line to walk. In this case we've decided that one simple email can help answer a lot of questions that we've been receiving lately so here it goes in the most unadvertisement-like way possible.
Lookfly have recently put up a new website at http://www.lookfly.com largely thanks to the efforts of Tom Styles (www.tom-styles.co.uk). Although we had to sacrifice some things (like our entire account database from the old shop...ugh) we're really happy with it. We're also naturally curious about reactions to some of the new features and would like to introduce them to you. Hopefully some of you can try them out and let us know what you think. The first is the Newsletter. As we said above we do our best to avoid emailing team contacts or public groups directly as this is just SPAM. To help avoid this we've added a few methods of passive communication of which this is the first. We're going to start sending a periodic newsletter full of general stuff that we've seen going on around the ultimate world that pertains to us as both players and as an Ultimate company. If you're interested then there's a sign-up on the new website in the top right of the home page. The next thing is the new Lookfly Calendar that is firmly placed on the front right side of the website. It features dates and links to events we'll be involved with along with an idea of how and why. Additionally it'll have convenient dates and deadlines you might be wondering about. Lastly, in keeping with trying to be riding the crest of technology type stuff, we've setup a Twitter (www.twitter.com) account that can be seen at http://www.twitter.com/lookfly. If you are edgey enough to be twittering (...what is twittering? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter) then you can actually follow us on there. Our Twitter account will be more of a "behind the scenes" mini-blog, and will have you so in-the-know about what's going on your friends will be shocked and amazed at your detailed knowledge of our inner workings. We'll also be publishing the occasional discount code for our website shop on there just to see if anybody actually is following along. So to wrap up, our apologies again for this email. Please feel free to reply with feedback, praise or abuse but at the very least, go check out the great job Tom did with our new site and give us a thumbs up/down and any comments about it. Cheers Lookfly (Steve, Alli and Vince) __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
