So, I’m reading this article on 15 things you can do with RSS and I had this idea……RSS/Email TODO lists. Here’s how:
1) come up with a unique/not-easily guessable email to use at MailBucket.org or Mailinator.com – let’s say we use todo-myvogonpoetry@emailsite
2) use Bloglines and subscribe to your RSS feed from one of the sites above – make sure you make it private (in BlogLines). For the above example, if using MailBucket, it would be: http://www.mailbucket.org/todo-myvogonpoetry.xml (you can also read the mail by using your browser to visit http://www.mailbucket.org/simple/todo-myvogonpoetry
3) Now, whenever you think of something for your TODO list, just send yourself a todo email at your mailbucket.org address and bloglines will pick it up.
4) In bloglines, when you get a new TODO item, mark it as “Keep New”. Once it is done, unmark it.
There are lots of other cool things you can do with this. here’s one: create an anonymous, spontaneous discussion/forum
Hi! I didn’t put this on my list. Now that you’ve written this, I probably should have. Tadalist.com allows you to create todo lists and gives you RSS delivery of updates too. Sorry! I’ll do better when I update that list. (Maybe I should make it a regular article on my blog.)
You do realize that you can create a “throwaway” email address like this directly in Bloglines, don’t you?
Just go to “Create Email Subscriptions” and you can make an email address formatted as YOURUSERNAME.RANDOMNUMBERS@bloglines.com that you can use to send things directly to your Bloglines account.
I currently use this feature in conjunction with RememberTo to receive a daily list of sites I like that don’t provide RSS feeds.
I did not know that about bloglines! I’ll have to play with that.
