The RSS focused start up xFruits has just introduced two very interesting products:

1. VocalFruits, a stand alone service that does text-to-speech for your RSS feeds.
2. Mail-to-RSS, which takes your emails and parses them as RSS feeds.

Mail-to-RSS is rather novel, but Gmail already does this so no big deal if you're a Gmail user, but it would be great for any other POP account. I wonder if it works with Exchange servers?

The one I found more interesting was VocalFruits. I haven't got a chance to listen to the quality, but I can just imagine the possibilities this service can bring. Imagine the visually impaired now can "read" blogs, Podcasting for those who can't stand listening to their voices recorded, and blurring the line between blogging and podcasting.

Now all we need is something to automatically translate RSS feeds. =)
