1.0.1Confluence Server 5.6 - 5.8.182015-09-28Welcome to Better Blogs! Better Blogs is a paid add-on that allows Space Administrators to subscribe users and groups to email notifications of new blogs in a space.
At Twitter we needed this feature to ensure every member of our product, design and engineering organisation (>1,500 people) got notified of blog posts in the Engineering space. The Engineering Blog enabled VP's to communicate one-to-many and it was also a great way to share our technology radar, diversity initiatives, and more. We couldn't just ask every new employee to subscribe to the blog, hence Better Blogs was born.
With Better Blogs your employees won't miss any updates. If you like what you see please take advantage of a 25% discount (valid through end of October) with the code XXXXXXXX.
