Your campaigns will support it better, and you can use Unicode on the signup process (signup forms, thank you pages, and anywhere you have the ability to enter your own content). Internationalizing MailChimp is a work in progress, and it's going to take time to get it 100% there (and to do it right). But we're working on it! Hi Dimitris,

Looking forward to it. I was wondering. Have you added support for unicode character sets? We use Greek all the time and most aspects of the products do not support it. That would be really appreciated! I hope the migration goes well! Cheers! The new features looks great. Looking forward to it.

Migration of 7 years of customer data is the big challenge right now. Sam, maybe you missed our alert:

That's the single biggest weakness of the current Chimp and I'm thrilled to see you addressing it. Way to be on the ball!

I was actually putting together a more lengthy "how-to" for our video demos. They're getting more attention from our web designer audience than the actual MailChimp upgrade. Ha! Screenflow lets me do what I've always wanted since starting MailChimp in 2001---produce "TV quality" movie demos (with cuts, transitions, zooms, pans, callouts, etc). Basically, fast-paced, constantly-moving videos of otherwise very boring screenshots of a web app. In addition to Screenflow, I did some trickery with Spaces (multiple desktops) and iMovie (for editing and transitions) to make our teaser video (the one with music). I'll post some tips shortly. Working out the content right now. Thanks, Don! I was actually putting together a more lengthy “how-to” for our video demos.
