About Constant Contact
The feed is an SEO content mill; the product itself is invisible from here.
The Constant Contact feed being tracked is the company's marketing blog, not a changelog. Recent posts run to beginner guides (nonprofit marketing, event marketing), privacy-law explainers (GDPR, CCPA), and listicles - including a roundup of free email marketing services that positions competitors alongside its own free tier. Publishing runs at several posts a day. Nothing in the last ten entries describes a change to the product.
