Track sites you want to read once without bookmarking

by Jen

When you’re surfing and come across a page you want to save for later, what do you do? Bookmarking it in your browser creates a crazy long list of bookmarks, and removing them is not that simple. Some people like Delicious for bookmarking these posts, but others don’t want their lists public or don’t like the Delicious interface that well. (Or get annoyed with the fact Delicious won’t let you save your log in info in Firefox, so you have to remember and type your login every time.)

Instapaper has a great solution. Sign up with your email address, then drag the “Read Later” button into your browser toolbar. When you see a site you want to read later, just click the “Read Later” button in your toolbar, and a small popup appears (and quickly disappears) telling you the item’s been saved. Now when you have time to read, you just log into Instapaper and start reading. You can delete or edit the items as you go through them. Or you can always bookmark them if you decide to come back regularly.
