I'm reading this now: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-SharePoint-2007-Solutions-Programmer/dp/0470124490
And have this to read after readying the book above:

I have been using Constant Contact for about 2 years now and really like it. It gave me enough control that I could go in and tweak using HTML and CSS if I wanted to, but also gave my student workers and other non-techie people the ability to buil...
TargetX is another to consider: http://targetx.com/express-email.php
I also recommend people take a look at Karlyn's guidelines (and also recommend taking a look at Fire Engine Red
I think there are two big differences between the two:
1) FER is a higher ed company, and they understand the unique challenges of the industry
2) If I recall correctly, MyEmma inserts their branding in your footer. I always think its a good idea ...
Also I looked at constant contact and it was out of our price range.
We use MailChimp for a newsletter we send out and I have found it to be excellent. I highly recommend them. www.mailchimp.com
We've been using Emma (myemma.com) for the last two months and love them. Granted, we are using it on a smaller scale than you are looking for. We send around 30-50k a month in 3 - 5 blasts.
I use Mailchimp for my business and have been really impressed with them so far
Has anyone used Mailchimp?
I can echo the love for Campaign Monitor. I don't have much experience with other vendors, but CM is great. Very easy to use interface so we can offload campaign creation to less technical users. It's pay per e-mail, so your volume will determine ...
We use campaign monitor and I love them.
We're shopping for an e-mail provider, too, and so far Bronto is the leader. We do need to schedule a Fire Engine Red demo, though.
Also, Karlyn didn't mention it, but she wrote a good set of guidelines for selecting an email service provider las...
We send all of ours in house using "Email Marketer" from interspire.

Mailchimp, Emma, Real Magnet, Exact Target, Silverpop, Vertical Response....hope this helps! :-)
Thanks for the info Karlyn! I like the fact that they are in Philadelphia (we're in Delaware) and that they are small.
I will definitely check them out and schedule a demo.
I need at least 2 more recommendations, anyone have any other suggestions?

Employment Opportunities is one of the 12 main navigation links in the header of our Web site template. Therefore, it appears not only on the home page, but on almost every page of our site.
I just opened my account jfduguid (at) googlewave
Off topic, but the hide/show social media icon bar on your site is very well done.
Global footer that says "We're Hiring". It is one of our top visited pages.
Thanks for the feedback - the backstory here is that our HR office has requested to be on the homepage, but the college's Web Advisory committee has been refusing the request. I thought a link in the global footer would be a nice solution, so I'm ...
"Employment at SJC" is a link in our footer that is on every page, including the homepage. We also have a prominent link in the navigation one level down under our "About Us" section.
It's one of our top hits also.
Share your experiences using OmniUpdate CMS
We have an Employment link in the footer of every page, including our home page.
OmniUpdate’s CMS business is booming and we are looking for several Web Services Technicians. Help us grow our team.
Yes, we list it on the homepage. Our HR person requested this as part of our redesign about a year ago and I thought it made sense.
We have a "Jobs" link in our global footer.
We do have a link at the bottom of the home page in the footer. We have gone one step further however, because the footer is a common include used across everyone of our pages that is in our new template. We have about 75% of our pages using it. I...
hello uwebd!
we're hiring a developer here @ Rensselaer's Experimental Media & Performing Arts Center in Troy, NY. www.empac.rpi.edu. We started this search last year but then went into a hiring freeze, and now have a window where we're quickly tr...
I can tell you how we do it-
I work in marketing on the web team. We control the front page. I'm the content person, so I make a lot of those judgment calls.
For our specific design (www.oc.edu), there are a few guiding principles.
For the top ...

What is the editorial process for your university homepage? Specifically, I'm curious about:
- what type of content gets featured (news, events, blogs, social media, contests, etc.)
- number of people making decisions about what content gets feat...
It is a link on our homepage and is one of our top hits as well.
We don't, but it is one of the first menu items from the top drop down menu. I would say it is worth it, especially if you are a large school. We're a small school (for example at this time we have 5 only openings on campus), but that page is one ...
