A Feed Is Born

RSS2Email: Squeet

by Vincent on January 19th, 2006

Steve Rubel blogs about Squeet, a new service that streams RSS feeds via email. A similar service can be found at FeedBlitz.
I don’t like these tools, but it could be big. Hey, even Microsoft is incorporating RSS and E-mail so why not?

I prefer RssFwd for this service. An easy way to organize emailed feeds is through + addressing, ex., mail sent to mrbob+news@gmail.com would be filtered to a different folder than mail sent to mrbob+blogs@gmail.com

I offer my blog visitors the opportunity to subscribe to my Strange New Products feed via RssFwd. I don’t get any monetization out of it, but it’s a great way to add “push technology” to your blog and feed.

That is, instead of someone visiting your blog, or synchronzing their feed reader to get your latest posts, the posts are delivered to their e-mail inbox, hence the name “push technology”.

As long as these e-mails keep coming to them, they’ll never forget about your blog.

You may also want to checkout Feedlinx (http://www.feedlinx.com) — It’s a great option for visitors who use email and feed readers and want to track their “read” posts across multiple delivery methods.
