I agree that email is good for notifications. Surely "checking Web sites to see what's new" was solved with RSS/ATOM? (Again, once the data's out there, the UI is your choice; e.g. I convert RSS/ATOM to maildir so I can use my preferred email client for everything; I put HackerNews (HNRSS and HNNotify), subreddits, youtube channels, etc. into the same folder as my mailing lists)
