Simply headlines mi pare un servizio intelligente: permette di sfruttare i feed RSS senza fare nulla. Uno si iscrive e poi aspetta di ricevere una mail, impaginata come un giornata, con i contenuti che ha scelto. Comodo. Poi, appena terminata la conferma dell’iscrizione, ricevo questa:

francesco,

I just signed up for SimplyHeadlines. It’s like a personal homepage sent
to my email everyday with just the headline and a quick blurb about only
the news that interests me. Great for staying on top of things and skimming.

Anyway, I signed up to receive the following:

- Yahoo! Weather - Redondo Beach, CA
- Yahoo! News: U.S. National w/ images
- AP: World News
- Los Angeles Times - Print Edition
- The Economist - Global Agenda
- WSJ.com: US Business
- Inc.com
- E! Online Latest News
- Yahoo! News: Odd News w/ images
- Wired News: Top Stories
- socalTECH.com - Southern California High Tech News
- Wordsmith.org: Today’s Word
- Yahoo! Top Stories w/ images

If you sign up as one of my friends, then we can share the list of news
sources that interest us.

Do me a favor and click here to join. It’s free and makes life easier.

Thanks,

Joshua

p.s. In case you are wondering who I am, I created this little site.

Come Joshua? e Lowfares che c’azzecca? L’idea mi piace ma se ci fossero ulteriori elementi fastidiosi non manchero’ di segnalarli e lamentarmi…

Intanto provo a fidarmi di questa pagina e dello sbandierato logo “spam free”.

    Hi,

    You may have noticed that when you tried to activate your SimplyHeadlines account yesterday or today you received an error. I updated a bunch of features and apparently something went odd. I apologize for this.

    Anyway, I have activated your subscription and sent you out today’s paper. You should receive it shortly. If you do not want to receive SimplyHeadlines in the future, log into http://www.simplyheadlines.com and click to “Suspend Delivery.”

    Sorry about the trouble.

    Best,
    Josh @ SH

    3. Identica mail ricevuta pure qui. Ricevuto anche il primo “giornale” via mail. Mi piace abbastanza :-)

    4. Joshua mi ha scritto spiegando l’inconveniente dell’indirizzo at lowfares dot com. Intanto pare funzionare discretamente bene…

Tell me what you're thinking...
