Make sure you read all of this before you judge, its mostly for fun, but I see how it could have potential. Web Clips in your Gmail account show you news headlines, blog posts, RSS and Atom feeds, and relevant sponsored links, right at the top of your inbox.
Each clip displays the source from which it was received, how long ago the clip was published, and a link to access the entire story or page containing the clip.
From your inbox, you can scroll through clips you've already seen by clicking the left arrow or see new clips by clicking the right arrow.
To customize Web Clips for Gmail:
Log in to Gmail.
Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page, and open the Web Clips tab.
Browse popular clips by selecting a topic link along the left. Search for feeds by entering topics that interest you -- use this feature like you would Google Search.
Or, enter specific feed URLs. (Hint Hint: Like Your Feed URLs!)
Click Add next to the clips you'd like to see in Gmail.
To remove a clip, visit the Web Clips tab under Settings and click remove next to the clip. To disable clips entirely, uncheck the box next to Show my web clips above the Inbox.
Note: Clips of your favorite RSS and Atom feeds are displayed randomly, and aren't targeted to the contents of your mail.
Why would you want to do this? Ok I'll tell you. This will get your feed indexed by Google too! Plus it has the potential that you could tell your subscribers about it and maybe they'll add Your Feed to their 'Web Clips'. It's also a fun way to keep up with your favorite feeds while your checking your email.
Are the lightbulbs going on now?
