I just signed up for a Bloglines subscription to Scuttlebutt, so I can find out how it works. I am thinking that it didn't work for you, as whenever you subscribe to Scuttlebutt, you have to be able to reply to the confirmation email. With the Bloglines email address, there is no place for that to go to, so you weren't able to confirm your Scuttlebutt subscritpion. Anyway, I will give it a go and see how it works. Thanks for the tips. - Craig Leweck, Publisher, Scuttlebutt</p> Always cool to read about Scuttlebutt on other people’s blogs.

Its fine if you just want to be notified when a new issue comes out, but I don't read blogs that don't publish content via RSS. Its just extra work.</p> Yes, the ‘butt does have an RSS feed, but it doesn’t include the actual content of the newsletter.

I had to stop reading the 'butt because it clogged up my already-clogged inbox. But it's a drop in the bucket compared to a few hundred rss feeds.</p> Awesome.
