Reminder: Shutting Down

Fellow customers, After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to shut down Feed My Inbox over the course of the next couple of months. Timeline There will be no immediate impact on your account. Email updates will continue and you can still login to add/remove feeds at your liesure. The same is true for webmasters. Your embedded forms will continue to work and accept subscribers until January 10, 2013. Starting today (November 9), we will no longer accept new signups or feed subscriptions via FeedMyInbox.com. Again, this does not impact your account. December 1- all outgoing emails will have a note on top explaining the shut-down December 10- this is the final day subscription payments will be processed January 10- no further email updates will be sent to customers If you are on an annual payment plan, we will be reaching out individually and offering a partial refund based on the last date you were billed. Feed My Inbox Alternatives We recommend Blogtrottr. Although we have not tested it extensively, it seems to be closest to the available features we offer. Google Reader is the best available feed reader, although they don't have support for email notifications. You can also generate RSS feed emails using Zapier or Ifft. To export your feeds, login and visit http://www.feedmyinbox.com/account/export/. An OPML file will download to your computer, which can easily be imported into Blogtrottr or Google Reader. For webmasters, there are several available RSS to Email companies to host your signup form: Campaign Monitor MailChimp Aweber Feedblitz Why? Long story short, we failed to generate enough revenue to sustain the business long-term and justify the time necessary for ongoing support, maintenance and feature development. We are incredibly grateful for your support along the way and apologize that it didn't work out differently. -- Your Friends at Feed My Inbox If you have questions, reply to this email for help. help@feedmyinbox.com

Download Now Based on primary research with 300 companies This paper, created from the survey results of more than 300 companies explores the importance of the holiday shopping season for online businesses, the preparations they make generally, and the impact the holidays have on the live chat implementations present on the respondents’ sites.

What compelling offers are online consumers most likely to find this season? Does optimizing live chat have an impact outside of the holiday rush?
