Instapaper

marco:

I’m ready to direct some traffic to my little side project, Instapaper. I’ve been using it for months and couldn’t live without it now.

Here’s the basic premise:

  • You come across substantial news or blog articles that you want to read, but don’t have time at the moment.
  • You need something to read while sitting on a bus, waiting in a line, or bored in front of a computer.

Instapaper solves both of those problems. Try it out and let me know what you think.

I used to have a folder in my bookmarks toolbar called “Web Stuff To Read”… and the thing that bugged me out was that I could only read those saved web pages when I was logged on to my home pc… Now… the folder is gone… and I’ll be reading the stuff that interests me on my phone tomorrow….
