Strengths: It incoporates a sequencial autoresponder with a full-bodied list host with all the bells and whistles I could ever need. Everything that can possible be automated is and there customer service is some of the best I've seen.

Weaknesses: It only has 7 autoresponder message in its basic package. I would frankly like to see more. You also can give people who subscribe via email a tracking keyword automatically. (But then again I don't know if this is even possible.)

Missing? The ability to categorize and have mini-databases within my one database.

Strengths: Quick to process mailing. Other tests I did especially with getresponse were unacceptable. For example with getresponse.com my test mailing took 3 days to be processed. With aweber 2 minutes.

Weaknesses: I have not seen any weaknesses yet.

Missing? multiple autoresponders for free <G>
