RMail - RSS Feeds To Your Inbox

With RMail you can subscribe to RSS feed and have the posts sent to your inbox. This sounded like a really neat and simple idea.

But wait a minute. Doesn’t FeedBurner, or should i say “Google Burner” do that already? The answer is yes it does. TheFeedBurner subscription service sends you an e-mail a day with any new posts availible. The one thing i have yet to test is if RMail does it different. To do this i am going to leave a conclusion out of this and wait to see if this feed gets sent to my inbox on its own or in 24 hours when it will send a bunch of recent posts!

There is one difference. FeedBurner only allows feeds that are signed up, and have the the e-mail aubscription service active. Whereas the RMail lets you subscribe to any RSS feed you like. That might be enough for you to want to use them.

So check back here to see if the service is worth subscribing to!

To check back subscribe to the RSS feed and you will be told when I have a conclusion! Of course you can use the FeedBurner e-mail subscription service buy using the box at the top right of TechJuicer!

  7. On my 40th birthday, May 20th, I’m going live with Reblinks. The new RMail.

    I created RMail 4 yrs ago and sold it to NBC who killed it. Now we get RMail 2.0 with a promise not to sell it to stupid people like those at NBC.
