Yahoo Email + RSS Integrates Blogs

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

" 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.

    Don't think I've ever seen CmdrTaco reply in comments, but I'd love to hear his reasons for this. I've gone the hardcore geeky route with rss2email and also the true standalone desktop aggregator route. What I've settled on is Bloglines, because I use 4 machines in different locations quite frequently. Bloglines simply makes this easiest and maintains state perfectly between all 4. I'm on win2k, XP, and OSX on those 4 machines. The Bloglines notifier extension for Firefox is quite handy as well.
