I don't treat RSS like that, sometimes I'm too busy and don't check my RSS feeds and when I do I won't "catch up". I use email subscription to websites that I want to read every post.
- derefr 12y agoYes, and you use email subscriptions that way because email clients are bad at being feed readers: they effectively force you to "catch up" whenever you open them. My point was that, with these changes, Google are making Gmail good at being a feed-reader--adding features to interact with subscription emails the way you currently interact with RSS feed items. If your email client is good at being a feed reader, it will be sensible to use email subscriptions for things you currently use RSS feeds for.
