There is another service that provides rss to email http://www.rss2m.com. This one allows you to receive updates on an hourly basis and let you create your own feeds.
I think getting all news in a single email is great. email is still the most accessible medium.

I guess there are 2 people in the world that like the idea of having all the stories from a day in 1 email, but it’s a horrible experience.

You can’t delete, filter, forward, file, sort or otherwise organise individual posts. It makes the whole matter unmanageable. I hate having one humongous email with dozens of images that takes forever to render. It’s basically useless.

Anybody know of a service that will send 1 email per story.

Come on guys, we have powerful email clients with all kinds of functions. You don’t have to have your RSS feeds come to your inbox. The notion that it’s somehow more convenient to have less emails instead of more just disregards all the features our modern email programs have.

“Feed My Inbox” works nice thanks for sharing it with us.

I’ve just changed from FeedBurner email subscriptions to Feed My Inbox. Apparently Feedburner’s new email subscriptions have not been working for nearly a month. Their feedback group is full of unanswered complaints. Not good enough Google!

Hopefully Feed My Inbox will provide a more reliable service. FeedBurner aint what used to be! Why is it that everything Google takes over goes downhill quickly? It happened with Blogger. Now it’s happening with FeedBurner. What next?

Thanks Chris for finding this one – it sounds like they really want to provide a top-class service.

I moved onto RSS to reduce the email clutter totally, by avoiding having to depend on newsletters that often died out mid way even though the site was still there and being updated. If you want to live in your inbox, gmail has a Reader gadget, Thunderbird lets you read feeds in its interface and Outlook 2007 also has a method for you to check your feeds. Why’d you still want your inbox to fill up with content from some website?
Still not agreeable? I’d suggest you get another email address for all these types of periodic seemingly important mails, so your main inbox is kept clean to help important mails stand out.

I just made a video on this subject, actually. I wondered if RSS in email is even worth it, if there aren’t that many adopters.
