Send Me RSS is a a free service that lets you read your favorites RSS feeds in your email inbox just like any other email messages.
Similar services are offered by FeedBlitz and FeedBurner (now part of Google) but the unique part about Send Me RSS is that it’s instant. The other two cousins only offer RSS feeds as an email digest.
Send Me RSS (available at sendmerss.com) is actually an upgraded version of R-Mail that was developed by Randy Morin and later acquired by NBC Universal. The domain r-mail.org now redirects to sendmerss.com.
And it’s another useful email address if you want to read feeds on a computer or mobile phone that has email but no Internet connection.
If the term “RSS” sounds geek, watch this video that describes RSS in plain English.

Or is you use Thunderbird as your mailreader, you can just read all your RSS feeds in your email anyway without any extra work ;-)
I’ve been using TB as my RSS reader of choice for over a year now and am very happy with it indeed.

I believe this video is helpful to explain ’subscribe’ to blog readers. Thanks Amit.

Amit:
The facts are that FeedBlitz has long offered publishers multiple delivery options, from Express, through several other intra-day options, as well as daily, weekly, or monthly delivery. It’s the only service to offer a manual option, complete with an article sort feature, for total control. It’s the only one with a newsflash broadcast function, where publishers can email their subscribers directly without going via their blog or feed.
FeedBlitz is the only RSS and blog to mail solution to offer open and click through tracking. It’s the only one to offer Skype, AIM and Twitter options in a single solution. It’s the only one to autoamtically organize the articles in the mails and categroize them in the inbox for recipients. It’s the only one to offer unsubscribe surveys to find out whhy subscribers are leaving, and the only one with a referrer report to show publishers where subscribers are signing up from. And much more, of course.
Thanks
Phil
