“Read Later” bookmarking tool

I browse the web and search for information constantly and as I do, I stumble upon different websites that I would like to read but can’t do it at the time of the search because I’m busy doing something else and don’t want to get distracted.

I used to save all of my “read later” websites into a folder called “To Read Later” in my browser bookmarks.  Well, now there is a faster and better way….Instapaper.com

How it works

  1. Go to Instapaper.com and register (no information other than username is required).
  2. Drag this bookmarklet to your bookmarks toolbar:
    Read Later
  3. Then, next time you’re on a site that you want to read later, just click that bookmark and it will be added to your Instapaper reading list.  When you have time to read, you go to Instapaper.com on your computer or phone and get whatever you wanted to read.

Why this tool better than a browser bookmark and Del.icio.us tools?

  1. This tool saves you time.  All you have to do to add a website to your reading list is click a button.  No bookmark filing and No tagging is involved.
  2. Very easy to manage - All of your links are sorted into three groups: Unread, Recently Read, and Recently Skipped.   Clicking one of the ‘Unread’ links automatically moves the site link into the ‘Recently Read’ category.  You can also easily manage your links with the Edit and Delete options provided next to each link.
  3. The site provides an RSS feed for your bookmarks.  If you don’t want to keep going back to the site, you can read all of your articles through your RSS reader.

I have been using this tool for a week now and I’m loving it.  It has saved me a lot of time.
