Looking for an easy way to set up an email newsletter? Nourish will take any RSS feed and convert it into an email newsletter. The service is free to use, and relatively easy to set up and send out.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

Thanks for the write-up Chris. I just wanted to clear up one major point. The 10-subscriber limit was only a promotional thing while we were competing in Rails Rumble. Now that the service is officially launched, campaigns have a 5,000 email/month limit.

One of the major reasons why we built http://nouri.sh was because Feedburner didn't have _any_ of the features we were looking for. Some of the features unique to Nourish are:
(1) Upload bulk subscribers, you can only add one at a time through Feedburner
(2) Mashup multiple RSS feeds
(3) Flexible scheduling
(4) Track open and click through rates
(5) An API
Happy emailing!
