Gmail RSS for new posts!
While checking my gmail today, I noticed the little “RSS” button pictured here. I thought “What is that for in my email?” So I clicked it, and you know what it did? Opened up a feed for my unread emails! I was like “WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” The other cool thing is that if you try to load the atom feed, you must login which is much needed just for security purposes.
I don’t remember any talk of this pretty neat feature, so I thought I would post it just because I thought it was cool, and somebody might have a use for it. Technically many things can be done to use this feature, I just don’t have the time right now to do anything about it.
If you don’t this jabbering I am talking about “feeds” and such, read about news aggregators. That article also links to information about feeds.
If you want a gmail.com email account (which is now up to 2gb’s free storage) let me know by commenting or sending me an email to danisblan@gmail.com
*Update*Over at evhead there is talk of other RSS features within gmail. All the comments here and on evhead add more to the discussion.

This feature of Gmail has been there for AGES! If you use Firefox you should notice the RSS feed at the bottom. I think this is how the extensions for Firefox and the official notifier work…

I guess I’m really behind then. I think I really only noticed it because it was up in the address bar. I usually don’t look down in the bottom of my firefox where it tells me about the rss feeds.

I pressed the RSS feed on Firefox browser for my Gmail page and when added to the live bookmark it says: Live Bookmark Feed Failed to load.
Also, I added it to Bloglines, but it didn’t fetch the feed correctly.
Am I doing anything wrong? Did it work for you?

Josue, I get the same thing. It was working for a while yesterday and since then it keeps giving me the same message.
Trovster, I would have to desagree w/you regarding the feature being there “AGES”. I’ve been using gmail and firefox for “AGES” and I have emailed the Google development team several times asking for this feature. I just noticed it this past week. Also, I have not read anything about it in their (googles) blog so given that and the fact that it isn’t working quite right yet I would assume that it is in a very early beta stage.
