From the Someone Needs to create this department:
I love RSS feeds for websites - blogs, news, etc. I like to read them in an rss reader. But that's just me. Numerous people don't know what RSS feeds are, my sister included (no offense sis). My sis has a wonderful website with lots of feeds - one for the news on her front page, one for her art image gallery, etc. She doesn't even know there are feeds there, nor what they can be used for. The same with most of her target audience. Mailing lists are a much better solution for her and her audience. It would be a great if a web service existed that would convert feeds to mailing lists, and allow my sister to put a subscription box right on her website that builds said mailing list without any programming experience whatsoever.
I'd implement this if not for lack of time.

We found a bat resting above our doorway last night. Cute little guy.
