No Spam + Full Reader Control - Because you get to choose which feeds you subscribed to, and since no third party can force anyone to subscribe to any other than the chosen content, you retain full control over the information you see. Email has been completely overrun with spam in recent years, which severely limits your ability to receive messages without having to anti-spam, filter and sort through tons of useless mail. By allowing full control, you don’t need to entrust us with your email, and can keep this communication tool for other purposes. We won’t interfere with your email affairs and privacy in any way as you only receive updates from our sites via your news reader application.



Better Choice - By subscribing to our content, as opposed to receive newsletters or other email, you actively chose the content that you are most interested in, for example a certain topic where our site members contribute in a value adding fashion for your personal goals.
