MailbyRSS

January 26th, 2004

As many of you know, I hate e-mail. Also, I am not fond of mailing lists or electronic discussion lists because, well, they go through e-mail. For those of you that use e-mail as your primary communication tool and like discussion lists, I came across a new tool this evening that you may be interested in.

MailbyRSS is an way to author an RSS by e-mail, similar to Mailbucket. The main difference between Mailbucket an MailbyRSS is that the e-mail address and the RSS feed are totally different (Mailbucket e-mails are sent to an address, such as librarystuff@mailbucket.org and the feed that is created is mailbucket.org/librarystuff.xml). Consider MailbyRSS a Topica for the RSS world. A great way to be a part of a discussion community without having to go through e-mail to retrieve the new messages. Of course, in order to send messages to the list, you would have to go to your e-mail. Not a perfect system, but possibly useful nonetheless.
