Thanking You - and Pardon Us Tooting Our Horn Just a Bit!

Today's a day for celebrating! Early this morning, the number of subscribers to the daily email distribution of Payments News crossed 4,000. We're truly delighted with this milestone - and very gratified that so many of you find Payments News useful.

Payments News is a "sideline" for us at Glenbrook - but also a labor of love! Our "day job" is the strategy consulting work we do for a wide range of clients around electronic payments - and our payments education program serving payments professionals.

To keep ourselves current, years ago we started sharing among ourselves the most interesting payments-related news of the day - via an email distribution list. A few years later, it became almost as easy to post to a blog as to send an email - and Payments News was born. The earliest stories here in our archives date back over six years to April 2002.

Today, in addition to the 4,000 daily email subscribers, we serve over 8,000 unique visitors every weekday - many of them finding us (and Glenbrook) when they search for a payments-related topic and end up here. And, in our payments education program, we've now had over 2,000 payments professionals attend one of our Payments Boot Camps!

So, many thanks for being here with us! As always, if you've got comments to help us improve, please send them along anytime by clicking on the Feedback link in the top menu bar - we're all ears and really do appreciate hearing from you! To send us news that you'd like to have covered on Payments News, send it along to us: gotnews@paymentsnews.com.

Glenbrook, by the way, celebrated its seventh birthday just a couple of months ago. If you've got a project in mind where we can help as consultants, just contact any of the Glenbrook team and we'll get right back to you.
