In one of our surveys a few months back, we asked if readers would be interested in a nightly “recap” email. Essentially, it would include a handful of links — from BBR and other sources — that could help fans who aren’t on the Internet all day catch up on Panthers-related news and stories.So on Monday, we sent out a test. It received a bunch of positive feedback, and we blasted out another on Tuesday. Since this is a slow(er) time of year, it likely won’t become a nightly thing just yet, but I’d like to keep tinkering with the idea. And because many prefer to catch up on things in the morning, this post is part two of the experiment.If you’re a fan who wants a nightly recap, you could get those delivered directly to your inbox (you can subscribe to the BBR email list here). Or if you’d rather do your reading in the morning, we could post the links on the site overnight.Below you can find what we sent out Tuesday. The format isn’t ideal yet, but hopefully it gives you a sense of the sort of content that would be included. News, fluff, tweets, random stuff — if it’s Panthers-related, you may find it interesting. Or maybe you won’t. As always, please feel free to share feedback by email or Twitter.By the way, BBR’s day-over-day traffic in April was 11 times more than last April, and it took just eight days this month to surpass our numbers from all of May 2014. So, thank you for continuing to show your support for what we’re building. There’s much more to come.—BV
