He told me about Instapaper...and I am so hooked. Have you tried it?
It's a read later bookmark service that let's you save articles or blog posts or anything else on the web to read...later.
I don't know how many times I click on links from blogs, that look really good and that I really want to read but just don't have the time. I later forget the site or the article.
Sometimes I read it, but get sidetracked and never return to the original blog or just spend too much time.
Instapaper let's you read the fun stuff you like, later. You can use it on your computer, iPhone and iPad.
It's free to use on your computer and free for the iPhone (as long as you are willing to put up with ads here and there). The cost to have it on your iPad as well is $4.99 (not free, but reasonable) and gives you the ad free service on your iPhone as well.
They seriously should pay me for all the advertising I have done for them lately. I am really impressed and had never really tried a save later service like this before.
I don't know of others? Are you trying any? Any recommendations?
So, anyways, when you have time, you go back to your instapaper and can read what you have saved anywhere you are, even if you don't have wi fi service (LOVE this for those little restaurants or cafes with no wi fi). If you are in wi fi service then you also have the option of visiting the exact site like for leaving comments ( :
Just a quick I found this and like this sharing with you.
*I was not given any compensation or asked or contacted in anyway by instapaper. I found this service on my own (well, with Kip's help) and like it so much thought you might too ( :

I've never heard of this Marce but to me it feels like something else I would need to check to read other than the 1000 posts in my resder!!
Interesting!!
Another service like it, with apps for iOS devices as well, is Read It Later. Very, very similar to Instapaper.
I'll check it out. I love finding new useful apps.
Thanks so much for posting about this. I'm totally going to check it out. I just did a major app purge and am ready for some new fresh stuff.
Cheers,
Anne
@Dariela The nice thing about Instapaper is that you can read these posts during times you are not connected to the internet. It's just for random posts or articles you find while you are messing around online but don't have the actual time to read, this way you can save them to read at a later time. Whenever you want.
