It's an invasion on some level, and quite honestly, newsletters get lost in my Inbox. It's true. When I go to Bloglines, I go with a purpose--to read my favorite blogs. If they start seeking me out via e-mail, I can't say that my loyalty would remain.

I don't know about McCarthy, but I think in Calacanis' it's not about the money -- at least directly. He makes his money through other businesses. Calacanis' newsletter is a way for him to engage and influence an audience outside of the open-to-the-world environment of the blog, so I think he's kind of a special case. He's after influence and engagement without all the "noise" that you get on a highly trafficked blog. I'm not sure what he plans to do with that influence yet -- maybe he doesn't know either, yet -- but it'll be interesting to watch.
