Frequency Settings
I really appreciate the simplicity of this service but I think it could be made even more useful by allowing users to specify how frequently they'd like to receive updates. You've made an arbitrary decision that every 24 hours will work for everyone. But I think you might find that in the age of Twitter AND information overload, some people may want several updates per day or just once a week. It could be a question as simple as "How often should we email you with updates?" with 3-4 radio button options or so (twice daily, daily, bi-weekly, weekly).
I understand the more features you add, the less easy it is to use, but this seems like one setting just screaming to be added (maybe it's just me screaming :)

Inappropriate?Hey Erik,
Great comments, I agree with you. While 24 hours will probably always be the default so that we can keep things super-easy on the front-end, for more advanced users we are planning to give you a way to easily create an account.
Creating an account will help you in a couple ways. First off, you won't have to click a confirmation link for each and every feed any longer. Secondly, like you requested, you will be able to manage feeds, along with the frequency you receive each one. We also have some other neat things planned for that area, but rest assured this feature is a priority.
THANKS for being a customer and sending your feedback.
I’m grateful

Inappropriate?Just wanted to echo that I really love the simplicity as well. I'm looking for something that "Grandma" can use on my insignificant wordpress blog.
That said, I would prefer an immediate update option.
I think accounts are a mistake though. If you can have an unsubscribe link
in each email, you can have an edit link in each email.
I also want to praise the ?feed= trick, since wordpress.com doesn't allow forms. If there are ever any additional options, please expand on this!
Thanks -
Inappropriate?Accounts of some sort become necessary with a large amount of feeds. Otherwise, managing in bulk is onerous. -
Inappropriate?Thanks for the comments, folks. This is quickly becoming our most requested feature. I can promise we'll to our best to keep it just as simple for Grandma, and give others the opportunity to manage feeds easily as well. Stay tuned! Thanks.
I’m excited
