Gmail Gets RSS

Everyone with a UID and Paul Stamatiou writes "Google's Gmail email service now sports a new feature for displaying RSS feeds, dubbed Web Clips. You might remember this name, as it is the same name Google Desktop refers to RSS feeds. Web Clips for Gmail were announced a long time ago sometime during the summer but they were finally stable enough to release to the general public. You can check out the what's new page for Gmail here. Essentially, you subscribe to a bunch of feeds and everytime you log into Gmail it loads the lastest title from each feed which you can scroll through with left/right arrows. Don't forget to check the actual post about Web Clips for Gmail on the Google Blog."

Confusion over 'Clip' and 'Klip' by ffdixon · 2005-12-09 09:00 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I wonder if anyone is confused between 'Clip' and 'Klip'.

One is for the web, the other is a way to clip content to the desktop. Looking at this in a positive way, maybe we did pick the right name for our product four years ago.

See http://www.serence.com/ and our use of Klips for the desktop.

Cheers,... Fred

There are 76 stories about this on Digg, for a service that's been around for seven months already. see http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?ctx= gmail&hl=en&answer=18219
