Real-time (or quasi real-time) feeds and shortening messages
I use your service to track a feed for airline deals.
This presents two problems, neither of which I experienced with a predecessor (now defunct) service called R|Mail:
(1) Deals often disappear within hours, if not minutes. Getting once-a-day e-mails from FeedMyInbox just doesn't cut it. I need real-time (or quasi-real-time) response at best, and hourly response at worst.
(2) Some of the initial posts in the feeds contain very long Fare Rules that simply aren't necessary to see in the FeedMyInbox e-mails. Instead of having the entire posting e-mailed, I would prefer an option that simply provides the Subject: of each message from the feed (with the link to the original thread still intact, of course) or, at worst, an option to get the Subject: and, say, the first 5 or 10 lines of the body of the message.

Inappropriate?Hey there! Thanks for touching base about a couple of things with us.
1) We are currently testing real-time feed updates with customers that request it. Please email help(at)feedmyinbox.com and we can add you to our list.
2) This one gets a little more complicated. Our policy is not to modify the actual post content we receive from a feed. Whatever they post to the feed is what you receive via email. I would suggest that you contact the people running that website and request that they remove the junk from their feed and they might just comply.
Thanks!
