Yahoo Email + RSS Integrates Blogs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the makes-sense-to-me dept.

yapplejax writes "In the new war of the Internet based applications, Yahoo is testing creating an email folder as the hub for RSS instead of using a web page for the feeds. " I've long thought this was the best way to do it- I've used web and application RSS readers for years, and email clients are simply a better interface.

    The AP is reporting on this as well.

    Unlike email, people can't just send you an RSS feed. You need to subscribe. (i.e. your RSS-client needs to be set to go check the feed every so often to see if there's anything new)

    To the best of my knowledge, if you get spam from this, it's your own fault for subscribing to crappy feeds.
