I'm here in Boston and I'm meeting with a lot of great companies and doing a couple of ThisWeekIn Startup episodes while I'm here. I would be remiss if I didn't meet with the founder and CTO of HubS pot. Dharmesh Shah is with us. We're going to have a great hour long discussion about how he built HubSpot, angel investing, the Boston scene. All of these great things. Stick with us. TWiST title sequence. Jason: Hey, everybody. Hey, everybody. This is a great interview. Hey look. Our partner for today's program is MailChimp. As you guys know I've been using MailChimp for all of the Launch Festival, for ThisWeekIn Startups even for Inside.com, my new startup. 2,000 subscribers and 12,000 emails a month free. You pay as you go. Mobile friendly email templates. Version 8 is out with multi user access. This is something I have been waiting for. Boy is it really well done. Actually Aaron, their designer, who wrote a lot of great books on design is going to be here at the Launch Festival. We're here cleaning up the whole mess from the Launch Festival right now. While I'm reading this ad. They do a great job with MailChimp. 2,000 subscribers and 12,000 emails per month for free. They're constantly releasing all these new features which is great. I gotta tell you, this ability to have multi user access. You may want one person to send emails and another person to handle unsubscribes and subscribes. You may not want the person who's handling the customer support stuff to be able to actually send to the list. Right? Kind of dangerous. Now you get that multi level user support. Where you can say this person can do this. This person can't do that. You start figuring out who in your organization you want to have access to these features. Not cause they're going to do something bad. You know some people do steal mailing lists and stuff like that. You gotta be careful. You want to make sure no one makes any mistakes that's most of all. The software now with version 8 has multi-user access. That's going to be great for us. So the free plan is always free. You have the ability to manage up to 2,000 subscribers and 12,000 emails per month. You're seeing this all over the place. Facebook is sort of losing favor with young people and certain demographics. Then Instagram becomes popular. Before that it was MySpace. Next is SnapChat. If you're investing your marketing dollars in social networks, I gotta tell ya you're a dope. That's what I feel about it. Everybody spends a dollar to get a like or $2 to get a follow. Forget all that. Get the goddamned email address. You have that email address and it's for life. What email did you sign up with Twitter with? What email did you sign up with Facebook with? What email did you sign up with MySpace or SnapChat? It's the same goddamned email.
