May be you should consider having a different kind of launch for this service, if what you describe above is exactly what you are offering. But either case, IMHO, it would take a whole lot of people (a movement altogether) to get people to shift their perspectives on how the "subscribe" thing should work on the web. All the more power to you for attempting to solve this. PS: the reason I have subscribe email button is because Blogspot provides it by default through Feedburner. So I have opted for the platform's native service instead of anyone else. I will give your service a try anyway but asking people to subscribe to a service .... to subscribe to a service...well you know where it leads.

You don't have to ask your readers to subscribe to a service at all! Again, it's just a button :) There is not even a web app running on the back. Only some Javascript and the use of your localStorage. It's integrated on a couple sites like: http://andraz.wpengine.com/ http://andraz.wpengine.com/ check it out to see how easy it is to use.

  I don't see an option for email, browser add-on/extension etc (by browser addon, I mean to suggest the type of alerts you get in Gmail when you have that extension installed). The service is simply providing one relatively known service and rest the unknowns (again, looking at it from common-denominator average perspective).

    Well, email is not app, nor is browser addon. However, apps that use email or browser addons could very easily register with Subtome (see the Developer section) so that if you used them, they'll show up. We also have added Blogtrottr as a default, and yes they provide emails... Again, SubToMe will not show you a foot long list of services, just the ones that you used in the past (thru the registration mechanism) or a couple default ones to get started.
