While most people prefer to use RSS aggregator like Google Reader over email subscription, there are times when RSS news delivery via email can prove to be a lot more convenient. This is especially true when you go somewhere where your mobile phone is the only device that can connect you to the whole world. It is also a really good alternative for those who do not know what RSS is or for those who hate to find RSS link in a website (not placed in prominent place).
RSS Fwd is a web service that finds XML content and delivers the news to your email.
The subscription is easy as suggested by the above picture. You just need to fill in website URL you intend to subscribe and if the URL is entered correctly, a preview of latest items will be displayed. To proceed, you just need to enter your email and password (for RSS Fwd subscription management). The frequency delivery can be set to either real time, daily or weekly.
This is another good alternative to Feedburner email subscription if you like new services.

Would be great if it actually worked.
Signed up, no validation e-mails or anything. Set for real time. Waited patiently for the e-mails. Nothing.
Nice work guys – not.

Hoo Him – RssFwd worked great until about three weeks ago. They are quietly letting the service die now, not bothering to say so anywhere but a Twitter post. :-(
