Tabbloid makes printable PDFs from your RSS subscriptions
If you like following news from your favorite sites, but you don't currently have a smartphone or other mobile computing option, it can be difficult to stay on top of things. I know I tend to get more reading time away from the computer than when I'm actually sitting at it. There's an odd service from Hewlett Packard that might be able to help you, as long as you don't mind killing a few trees.
HP has a site called Tabbloid that will allow you to enter RSS feeds for sites you'd like to follow, and it will automatically format and send you PDF files on a schedule populated with the contents of the feeds you entered. The formatting is very readable, but I'm not sure they're making the best use of space; I'd rather see the pages formatted into more columns, and maybe using a landscape format to better replicate the feeling of reading a newspaper or magazine.
It seems pretty transparent that what HP is hoping for here is to encourage users to get into the habit of regularly printing off reading material. Of course, if they do that, they will quickly be finding themselves at their local computer store buying ink for their printer. Evil genius!
