I use email for what it's good for, and I use RSS for what it's good for. One more than one occasion I've found it nearly impossible to unsubscribe from a mailing list or email newsletter. I can always unsubscribe to an RSS feed. In this way, RSS puts the user in control, and that's a good thing. I'm not one of those people who think "email is broken" because I use it every day and it works pretty well. Ultimately, I want a choice of either email or RSS (or whatever) as a delivery method.
