Podcast your gmail !!

This is a tutorial on how to get your gmail delivered in voice form to your ipod (or any other mp3 player) as a podast
first thing is to get your gmail feed the feed is https://username:password@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom
where username is your username and password is your password
once you have your feed navigate to feedburner.com and enter yoru feed into the box on the homepage
on the next screen you name your feed , this is the url you type in so make it memorable but not easy to guess since you dont want others reading your email
and thats it (if you dont already have a feedburner account , you will be asked t ocreate on in this process)
now that we have a nice memorable feed
head to http://feed2podcast.com and sign up for an account there
once you have an account , sign in and click "burn new feed here, you will have to fill in every box but you can put whatever you want in it, once you create your podcast feed
at the end of the page where it says "or copy your url"
copy the url in the box and open itunes (or any other podcast client of your choice)
and go to advanced --> subscribe to podcast
enter the url you copied before into this box
then right click your feed and click update , there you go gmail podcast
