I signed up to get most of my family’s household bills delivered electronically. Typically, evey month I get an email from, say, the phone company, telling me I can download my latest account statement in PDF form by clicking on a link. I then have to download the PDF file, remember where I set up the file to save it, and save it to disk.
What I’d really like is to get my bills via RSS feeds. I mean the actual bills themselves, not just a notice that they’re ready. It would work something like this: In my feed-reading software, I’d set up folders for AT&T, Reliant Energy, the city water bill, etc. Then every month, the bills would be automatically downloaded and filed.
Vendors, are you listening?
