RSS updates delivered via email

A new website lets people get RSS updates emailed to their Inboxes, rather than having to download an RSS reader, or visit an RSS website.

People can choose how often they receive updates – either hourly, 12 hourly, daily or weekly.

Called Feed Mailer, the service already offers a large directory of feeds, with plans to add more. Usernames are kept private, and its makers say they wanted to create a way people could get RSS alerts as easily as possible.

Feed Mailer’s John Slater said: “We thought we would design a system that would allow users to simply register their account, add feeds and then just get e-mails, that way they only need to visit their inbox to get the updates.

Currently, he said, the popular feeds are Engadget, Digg and various feeds from the BBC.
