RSS to email

I've noticed several posts about people having trouble getting the other folks in their libraries to use some of the fun technology that is being discussed. Sometimes it's best to work things in slowly.

In that spirit, did you know that you can send RSS feeds to email? I use RSSfwd (http://www.rssfwd.com/) on my blogs, but there are a few others. You enter the feed or blog URL, then your email address. RSSfwd will also provide a link that sends people to the "subscribe" page where they can enter their address. New posts (links, stories, etc.) will be delivered in plain text email with hyperlinks.

I use it on my own blogs to check my posts (sometimes those typos stand out in email when they didn't in HTML), as a backup, and to provide a handy way of forwarding a post to someone who doesn't read the blog.
