Turn any mailaccount into an RSS feed

My last post was about disposable e-mail addresses, this one is about converting an existing address into an RSS feed! Goto social-mail.com and turn any current email list into a feed by using a SocialMail address to subscribe.

Steve Rubel blogs about Squeet, a new service that streams RSS feeds via email. A similar service can be found at FeedBlitz.
