Feedlooks is a very interest new way to subscribe to your favorite website RSS feeds, and keep track of when they have new posts to check out. Rather than serving as a separate webpage you visit to keep up with RSS subscriptions, Feedlooks comes with you to each website you want to visit.
For those of you who might not have noticed, one of my other projects – WebHostingShow.com got a little ‘bit of a face lift yesterday, mainly as far as the logo goes. This did give me an excuse to spruce up a few other features that are well worth checking out too.
How do you like that new logo, by the way? It was designed my my good friend and graphic design specialist, Sean Barton. I’m personally pretty proud of it – as it is pretty much the logo I always wanted for the show, but never had the time or the skill to put together. Want to learn more about the web hosting industry? The web hosting show is both a podcast and web site dedicated to helping anybody from novices to experts learn more about how to make the web hosting world work for them.

Always finding yourself forgetting your loved one’s birthday? Well, forget no longer with the help of RSS Birthday. This new web site will allow you to create a customized RSS feed with birthday reminders. Once created, you can get the birthday reminders delivered to you – so you’ll never forget again.
Personally, I use Google Calendar for this type of thing, and set it up as a yearly reminder, however it is good to have alternatives. Also, RSS Birthday could be handy in organizing all the birthdays you need to remember in one spot. So that is another advantage that it has.
So if you want to get reminded about that up and coming birthday before it happens, check out RSSBirthday.net and sign up. It is a quick and easy way to always remember that special date.

FeedMyInbox is a new service that recently caught my eye, due to the fact they make things very simple. They are offering you blogs, feeds and news delivered magically to your e-mail inbox. All you have to do is visit the web site and enter a web site RSS feed and your e-mail address.
Here is how FeedMyInbox explain the process:
Once you find a feed you would like to subscribe to, simply type in the web address (URL) for the site on FeedMyInbox.com. We will find the feed(s) available on the page, and you can select what you want to subscribe to. Once you subscribe to a feed, we will send an email to the address you specified. Simply click the link that is enclosed to confirm that your email address is correct, and you are all set!
It is an interesting service, to say the least.
Of course, if you want to get my feed in your inbox, that is easy enough to do without this service. Just click this link to subscribe to e-mail updates, so you never miss a post.
Just wanted to share some exciting news this morning, Mitchelaneous has finally broken the 600 subscribers mark! I’ve been watching this one for a while, since I had been hovering in 580 subscribers to 590 subscribers for some time.
