RSS is where it's at now. Why clutter my inbox when Google Reader organizes feeds automatically? I personally am turned off by blogs who offer only e-mail lists without RSS.

This is a relief to know that the majority of you prefer to get them as they come out (since it would be difficult to change that right now!) What I'm hoping is that in the future, Feedburner will provide an option for the end user to select how often they would like to receive it (and the default for new subscribers would be "as they come out"). I will let you know if they add this feature down the road! Thanks! Brian Thanks everyone for your votes and comments!

If I ever wrote a book on user interface design, I would use Feedblitz as a case study on what NOT to do. It was confusing and difficult, and I also had a major problem when I tried to cancel the service. Aweber is better but there were still some things I didn't like about it. Their "blog broadcast" feature (which is basically the main thing I was going to use to send out my blogs newsletter) was really buggy and felt half finished. After weeks I was still unable to get a branded email to generate that actually displayed correctly, pulled my feeds correctly, etc. The feedburner email service is actually far better in most ways (and free) except for that one issue of scheduled delivery.

Yesterday I was doing a research for a web based mailing software. I know that aweber is very good, but I was trying to find alternatives. Is that simply? aweber or nothing good? Do you think that Feedblitz is pretty bad?
