But steps need to be taken to help RSS catch on and integrating it into Gmail would probably open the service up to a lot of people who have never heard about it.

My only guess is that a majority of people still have no idea what RSS means, or does. So Google probably doesn’t think it’s missing out on anything here.

I know from my own circle of family and friends, that, while everyone has an e-mail account, very few, if any, keep track of RSS feeds.

Google probably thinks that it has bigger fish to fry.

If RSS really takes hold, which I believe it will, integration of e-mail and RSS will surely occur.

It boggles my mind why Google keeps Gmail separated from a lot of their services.

Could it be Google is too busy looking for other serivces (including itself) to buy to do any type of re-engering on their own products?

Windows Live Mail Plus will be $19.99 for 4GB of storage.

I guess that’s per year?

If I’m going to pay for email service I want something more for my money than just additional email storage space (I don’t count removing ads because Adblock Plus does that already). I want file storage, sharing, and backup, plus an RSS reader build into the mail client like News Gator’s Outlook plugin.
