For what it’s worth, I love the idea. Short, specific, and a get to the point bottom line. Excellent.

Like many worthwhile things, it will need to grow over time.

May I suggest you simply start doing it? Promote it. Refine it. Believe in it. Also — if we line up 100 similar weekly blasts, from various sources, find a way to make yours instantly recognizable. Just my .02 cents, disregard if it doesn’t resonate with your vision.

Good luck! A sincere grass roots response sounds great.
