Reminder: Shutting Down

Feed My Inbox - Confirm your feed

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:

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.

Changes to Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

Dear Google user,

We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google.

We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.


One policy, one Google experience
Easy to work across Google Tailored for you Easy to share and collaborate
Easy to work across Google

Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.

Tailored for you

If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.

Easy to share and collaborate

When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.


Protecting your privacy hasn't changed

Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).

Got questions?
We've got answers.

Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)


Notice of Change

March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.
