<DIV><FONT face=Verdana><FONT size=5><FONT face=Arial size=3>By Alana Semuels -
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer - February 5, 2008<BR><BR>Evan Friedman isn't
lazy, just efficient. Why should he slog through newspapers, entertainment
guides, restaurant fliers and concert promotions if someone will do it for
him?<BR><BR>Friedman, a 24-year-old from Los Angeles, subscribes to
Thrilllist.com, which bills itself as a lifestyle guide for men. It keeps him in
the know with daily e-mails that advise him, basically, on how to be cool. He
has dined at restaurants it suggested, attended events it plugged and purchased
gadgets it recommended, including a cover for his iPhone.<BR><BR>"It's a trusted
break in my barrage of e-mail," Friedman said. "It's kind of like an e-mail from
a friend."<BR><BR>Thrillist is one of dozens of electronic mailing list
services. Some have been around for years but new ones have been popping up
recently, godsends not only for Friedman and people like him but also for
advertisers.<BR><BR>The services, most supported by ads, reach audiences most
magazines only dream of. The median household income of Thrillist subscribers,
for instance, is $107,000, dwarfing Sports Illustrated's median of $63,605 and
Maxim's of $65,710.<BR><BR>"Magazines like Stuff and Cargo have been going
under, and we've been taking their place in the market," said Ben Lerer, a
co-founder of Thrillist, which recently launched a Las Vegas edition. Lerer said
its L.A. edition was projected to reach 45,000 recipients by next December,
which would be an 86% jump from a year earlier.<BR><BR>The idea behind e-mail
list services is simple. They bring order to the chaotic mass of information on
the Web and elsewhere, seize on relevant information -- or things that the
services' employees decide is relevant -- and present it via e-mails to
subscribers.<BR><BR>"We appeal to people who like to be on top of things but
don't have the time to do it," said Gary Foodim, general manager of Very Short
List.<BR><BR>Every service claims a niche. Veryshortlist.com says it "points to
excellent new (and sometimes vintage) entertainment and media that haven't been
hyped to within an inch of their lives." Dailycandy.com touts itself as "the
ultimate insider's guide to what's hot, new and undiscovered." Flavorpill.com
says it provides "filtered bits of knowledge that help you better navigate an
ever-expanding sea of cultural options."<BR><BR>The field is getting crowded,
bursting with lists targeted at specific groups of people. Among them:
UrbanDaddy ("an exclusive, daily e-mail magazine devoted to keeping you in the
know"), Julib.com ("what's new and hot in the world of restaurants, boutiques
and beauty") and Pocketchange.com ("detailing the most expensive goods and
services found in New York and Los Angeles").<BR><BR>Most e-mails carry with
them at least one ad. Recipients don't seem to mind the marketing, said Kris
Hallerman, a senior analyst at eMarketer. "It's not seen as intrusive because
people have control." They can always unsubscribe.<BR><BR>Advertisers like to
hop onto e-mails that people invite into their mailboxes, especially now that
spam filters have gotten better at blocking ad-only messages.<BR><BR>"People
that are fans of the list have quite a personal relationship with it; that makes
it a good vehicle for the right advertising," said Michael Jackson, president of
programming at IAC/InterActiveCorp., which funds Very Short List.<BR><BR>After a
Thrillist e-mail mentioned Astor & Black, a tailor that makes inexpensive
custom suits, $100,000 worth of suits were purchased in a matter of weeks, the
company said. DailyCandy said an e-mail about a movie screening prompted 8,000
RSVPs.<BR><BR>The competition for subscribers is heated. Flavorpill, a weekly
list founded in 2000, recently made its content accessible on mobile phones and
updates its website frequently, notifying subscribers when there's something
new. "We've been looking over our shoulders for seven years, wondering why no
one else was doing this," co-founder Mark Mangan said.<BR><BR>DailyCandy is
making its archive, which contains eight years of content, more accessible on
its website and is trying to bring its subscribers together in the physical
world for philanthropic and other events. It recently started sending out daily
texts to the mobile phones of people who prefer to receive information that way,
and created a mobile website for people to access on their hand-held
devices.<BR><BR>"We're always thinking about how to provide new and undiscovered
things in different ways going forward," said Pete Sheinbaum, chief executive of
DailyCandy Inc. "The fortunate thing for us is that we are requested by users to
enter their in-boxes, which is a private space these
days."</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

in interviewing people who are Mexican or of Mexican descent, who reside in the

age or younger. The purpose of this study is to understand how parents decide on
names for their children. If you volunteer to participate in this study,
Christina would ask you participate in 30 minute to one-hour interview related
to the topic of naming your child. Examples of questions you would be asked are
"When did you start to think about what name to give your child?" and "Why did
you choose the name you did for your child?" The interview would be conducted at
the time and location that is most convenient for you. Interviews can be

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Murphy and his wife are in the exciting process of
adopting! (They almost adopted a 1 month little boy last week, but all the
circumstances were not quite right.) They are going through a great agency,
but 10% of all the adoptions come through personal connections like you! This is
domestic adoption and the mother and child can be from anywhere in the U.S. So,
please keep your eyes and ears open for anyone that may need to place an infant
up for open adoption. ( Like a Juno of sorts without the creepy
parts). They are also open to a child of any race or culture. Check

no voice. As a Super Sunday volunteer, along with thousands of other
community-minded volunteers, you can do that and more during the largest single
day of fundraising for The Jewish Federation’s Annual Campaign. Even better, you
can bring the whole family when you do. They also provide the
childcare for younger children, programming for youth and a family-friendly
dinner for everyone after the phone session. Your participation will strengthen
our Jewish family locally, in Israel and around the world – and help all the
families in the broader Los Angeles community. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>MITZVAH - This month we learn about the Hebrew word and
concept of tzedakah, which is most commonly translated in English as “charity”:
giving aid, assistance and money to the poor and needy or to other worthy
causes. Giving is a mitzvah because both the giver and the receiver benefit from
this action. To RSVP or get more information on TOV, please contact Jonathan
Boyer of The Jewish Federation Valley Alliance at (818) 464-3206 or </FONT><A
