SocialMail: Feeds from e-mail

News, Reference, Stuff, Technology No Comments »
SocialMail is a handy service from Big in Japan that will turn any e-mail inbox or mailing list into an RSS feed. It’s pretty simple: you sign up and get a unique @biggu.com e-mail address. Then you can put that e-mail address on a mailing list or forward messages from your inbox to it and they’ll automatically be posted to an RSS feed. The latter functionality can be handy if your company has a generic support@ or sales@ e-mail address, for example, that you want lots of people to be able to monitor easily. As far as I can tell, SocialMail is free for anyone to use. [via SocialMail]

Google Notebook surfs along quietly with you as you browse, letting you clip and annotate whatever text, images, and links that help answer your question, all without ever leaving the webpage you’re on.

This hack requires a little bit of soldering and might not be for the novice hardware hacker, but the results look pretty good. If you’ve been wanting to try out Skype but haven’t wanted to buy a new headset (and you’ve got an old phone laying around), this seems like a cool idea.
