Sometimes you have breaking news that just can't wait to be blogged and picked up in the next scheduled FeedBlitz run. Sometimes you just have to get the news out now, now, now.
And, now, you can, if you're a FeedBlitz premium publisher.
Premium publishers - Pro and Turbo - can now send emails immediately to their subscriber base. If you have a Pro template enabled, the mail is formatted using it. You can send "newsflashes" by clicking the alert icon

- Urgent needs or opportunities (e.g. a seat for tomorrow's training class just opened up).
- A way to email your email subscribers only without going via the blog (e.g. communicating a special offer).
