Read Later: Instapaper

If you’re like me, you often come across an article, blog post, YouTube video, or other web page that you want to read but don’t have the time at the moment. I’ve wanted some way to be able to mark a page to read later…something better than my current method of dragging a bookmark to a folder on my desktop.

I recently came across Instapaper, which is a very simple site that lets you mark things to read later. Add a simple bookmarklet to your browser, and whenever you’re on a page you want to mark for later reading, click the bookmarklet and it adds the link to your Instapaper list.

(And if you’re a NetNewsWire user like me, someone wrote a “Post to Instapaper” AppleScript.)
