Email Marketing Reading List #006

The Email Marketing Reading List is once again with you this cloudy Sunday at least in the south of Spain and Gibraltar. This week people went bananas with the Apple Watch pre-order launch and it will be interesting to see how this will affect our email templates in the future. It’s too early to worry about that though.

Mini Interview with Torben Gendorf

My good friend Torben Gendorf agreed to be the first person in a series of mini interviews of web and email marketing professionals I’m going to host in this blog.

Torben is a former colleague and currently works for Evernote! He’s also a pilot. A REAL pilot that can take a plane, take off and land in a real airport, not in Playstation. This is nothing short of awesome, isn’t it?

Thank you Torben for taking the time to answer these questions.

First question cannot be other than what’s your favourite email app.

Mailbox. I feel like, I tried them all. But this is my winner. Dropbox integration, Mac and iPhone and swipe for any possible action. My current workflow is to spend minimal time on email, so all those quick swipe actions work for me.

How to sort movies in IMDb

Sorting movies by rating

We are looking for new movies from time to time and IMDB is one of the best places to go to.

If the IMDb search looks too complicated for you and you just need to sort the movies you want by rating, you can use one of the examples below:

Best Rated Movies of 2013

http://www.imdb.com/search/title?year=2013&title_type=feature&num_votes=2000,&sort=user_rating,desc

Check the parameters of the above url. We’re asking IMDb to search for the best movies of 2013, with at least 2000 votes from the users + sort it in a descending order (which means the highest will be on the top).

You can adapt these parameters to your needs. For example, adding more user votes adds to credibility.

See some examples below:

Best Movies of 2010-2012

http://www.imdb.com/search/title?year=2010,2012&title_type=feature&num_votes=3000,&sort=user_rating,desc

Worst  Movies of 2000-2010

http://www.imdb.com/search/title?year=2000,2010&title_type=feature&num_votes=5000,&sort=user_rating,asc

Best Movies, TV Series, Video Games of 2011-2013

http://www.imdb.com/search/title?year=2011,2013&num_votes=4000,&sort=user_rating,desc

Happy searching!
