I know you like things that are free; so do I. This week I'm passing along free -- and nearly free -- stuff I've found on the Internet.
Get Your Blogs by E-mail with Squeet
You're reading this blog, so I know you're here. But there are tons of people who, like me, have a bunch of blogs they like to read, but always forget to visit them.
Sure, I know what you're thinking: Go get yourself one of those RSS feeders, Bass. Sure, they're great (and I'm sure the Comments field below will fill up with your favs). But I spend my life in e-mail and that's how I like to hear about new blog posts.
I just discovered Squeet, a free service that delivers blogs to your e-mail inbox (remember Push?). It's easy to set up and highly configurable. I started adding blogs to the other day and I'm thoroughly delighted with seeing them in my inbox. Read the FAQ if you want to know more about Squeet.
BassBlog Step-by-Step
It's easy to enter the URL for my blog's RSS feed into Squeet. Open my blog in your browser and look for the small orange box alongside the "Steve Bass's Tips & Tweaks" headline; it's labeled "XML."
Right-click that box and select Copy Shortcut, then paste the URL into the Feed URL box on Squeet's home page. BTW, here's the link:
