Was there a Newsletter in May?

Though it would appear an e-mail wasn't sent, well at least I didn't get one either.

Speaking of that newsletter, I want to say 2 things:

1) Congrats on producing a monthly email newsletter I actually read! That is so rare in a world full of spam and work emails that become the bane of your existence.

2) Do you know how motivating that top learners for the month thing is? The one month I set out to try and match the efforts of the top learners was my best skritter month ever by far. If there is some way you could leverage more competitiveness / ranking or something... It would be a fantastic addition the skritter experience and skritter community.

Hmm! Not sure why it didn't finish sending; I know it sent out to some people, but it might have died partway through. I'll try sending it out again later today if I can figure out what happened.

I second what timwebber said!

I wanted to see if I could get anywhere near some of the top learners. I think I managed around 29 hours of Skritter! Whilst nowhere near the top, it was still a great motivation and a very productive month in terms of progress :)

Any other little competitive elements would, in my view, be great!

+1 on increasing the competitiveness factor.
