A lot of people do not yet know that there is a new feature called bulletin both at the corporation and alliance level.
You can see/add/edit/delete (if you have the roles needed) in the Corporation management window, Home tab, Bulletins sub-tab. I can envision some usecases where bulletins will be more useful than corp mail, but there are two critical usability issues with bulletins in the form they are available now:
1) They are conceptually hard to find. People are accustomed to check the Eve Mail window for correspondence and they are accustomed to blinking mail button in case there is something new. Which leads to the second usability problem:
2) When new bulletin is posted or an existing one is edited or deleted, there is no indication at all. Add the fact that the existence of the bulletin feature is not yet well know and you can post bulletins for eons before you corp members discover them. Surely in addition to creating a bulletin you can post a corp mail that will notify corp members that a new or modified bulletin is available. But why bother with bulletins in the first place if you can simply post the same information in corp mail as it was done before dominion?
The following modifications address these usability issues: 1) Move the bulletin tab to the Eve Mail window. The Eve Mail window at the moment has Eve Mail and Notifications tabs, and Bulletins tab will fit just fine. It is expected that if the bulletins tab will be moved to the Eve Mail window then Eve Mail button will blink when new bulletin is added or an existing one is modified.
If moving the bulletins tab from corp window to mail window is out of question, then:
2) Add a new notification type that will be send to corp (or alliance) members when a new corp (alliance) bulletin is posted or an existing one is modified. This way corp members will see the blinking mail button, read the new notification and may be they will be so kind as to open the corp window and read the bulletin. At the very least they will be notified that there is something new to read.

Making the bulletins more visible to corp/alliance members and some sort of notification when one is made/amended would be a great addition.

Nobody uses bulletins? Or may be those who use it find it convenient and usable as is?

I've been following my bulletin posts up with eve mails on the subject as well. Was very sad to discover that at the least, the corp icon doesn't flash for members when a new bulletin is up.
