I find myself depending quite a bit on email notifications for blogs, since I never bothered trying to find an alternative to Google Reader, and haven’t yet configured the news functionality of Calibre (which uses recipes to compile all RSS feeds into an ebook on a regular basis, essentially a custom newspaper).
