Blog Posts Sent to Your E-mail

Feed Your E-mail Inbox

Feed Your E-mail Inbox

Want to receive our Blog posts directly to your E-mail inbox? Sign up for one of the services described below. After you give the service your email address, it will ask for the web address of any site you want to receive  automatic updates from. Paste in the web address of Tech Corner (http://cadltech.wordpress.com). Now whenever the Blog posts a new article, you’ll receive the post in your E-mail.

This will work with most websites, news headlines and Blogs.

Feedblitz
Feedblitz is my favorite service. If you enter the “RSS feed address” or web address for a  website or Blog, Feedblitz will send you the full post in a message to your address. It retains most of the formatting of the original website with pictures and links.

Most websites and Blogs now have an RSS icon you can click on to get their RSS address.

Feedburner
If a website or Blog uses Feedburner to promote their own website, then they’ll have a link on their webpage that will ask you for your E-mail address. That’s the address Feedburner will use to send you emails. But to add your own feed from a website that doesn’t promote itself using Feedburner, you must sign up for a Google account before subscribing the a feed. You can use Feedburner to subscribe to any website, not just the ones that themselves use Feedburner, but I found that signing up for a new feed was clunky an not very intuitive.

Feed My Inbox
Feed My Inbox provides daily summaries of your Blog subscriptions.

Nutshell Mail
Nutshell Mail sends periodic E-mail summaries of the websites, Blogs or social media web pages. You can set your own schedule for delivery, once a day, once an hour or anywhere in between. You can also send a message to their provided E-mail address for an immediate update at anytime in between your scheduled updates.

Peekfeed
Peekfeed works quite well and sends summaries of the newest posts from your feeds. A drawback of this one is the E-mail is in a plain text format, so none of the links or pictures get translated.

Tweet By Mail
Tweet By Mail sends E-mail updates from the people you tell it to follow from your Twitter account. But you don’t have to get tweets from every single person listed in your Twitter follow list. If you follow lots of people using Tweet By Mail, this will fill up your email box very fast. You can also use it to email updates to your own account. A handy feature of this service is it retains the clickable links people put in their tweets.
