Here is a quick overview of the RSS/E-mail world.  There are three ways to integrate the two worlds: Web-based e-mail service with RSS integration.  Example:  Oddpost.  I use this service.  It has an interface that puts Hotmail and Yahoo mail to shame.  They have integrated RSS feeds into the service. E-mail client plug-ins.  Example:  Newsgator.  This client software plugs into Outlook.  Lots of great features. RSS to e-mail gateway services.  Example:  Blogstreet.   This service allows you to subscribe to your RSS feeds through a standard e-mail account.  It is e-mail client agnostic and extremely simple to use. An innovative bit of conceptual client software in this area is Zoe.  It puts a Google UI on e-mail.  It uses search filters to sort mail for you (so you don't have to spend time putting things into folders, all you need to do is search or use your stored filters).  Given the e-mail glut, this is a natural evolution of the e-mail client UI (it won't look much different, but it will seem easier).  It can create RSS feeds from filtered e-mail (very cool).  See question below.... 5:25:52 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

I know you can create RSS feeds from e-mail using Zoe.  Can you consume RSS feeds like e-mail using Zoe?? 4:43:12 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

Nice procedures manual for UserLand's Manila (it still is in process but it is a good start for schools that want to get people up to speed on weblog basics in Manila). 8:52:04 AM    Comment_ Trackback []

BTW: if you want to search your RSS archives in Radio use Mark's "Radio Kit."  He also has a tool for trackback (which UserLand has already added), search weblog (for the desktop), a browser-based outline editor, and a way to change the dates of Radio posts.  Maybe Mark can give us an update on the status of Kit. 8:40:03 AM    Comment_ Trackback []

Jeeze, my comment count disappeared over the weekend by itself.  Code looks fine.  It does look like I got some of my GoogleRank back over the weekend (thanks guys).  The RSS feeds from my weblog don't work on My Yahoo unfortunately.  LOL.  I am a cork on the ocean of the Internet. 8:18:54 AM    Comment_ Trackback []
