Read it Later

When I'm surfing the web, I find that my ADD takes over! I'm reading one article, click a link that takes me to another article then click a link that takes me to a new website. I start chasing bunny trails all over the web and lose track of my original article that I was reading.

A couple years ago, I found a service called ReadItLater that does a remarkable job of keeping that ADD at bay while still allowing me to follow my bunny trails, just not right at this moment.

Like Evernote, ReadItLater syncs to all of the places where you might read online content: your browser, your phone and your tablet. You can even download your content so that you can read it without an Internet connection on your device.


The service is easy to use. Create an account, download the bookmarklets and, as you read and find a link that you want to read later, right click on the link and choose the option to "Read It Later." That link is now added to your list of items in ReadItLater.


Also, in Firefox, I have a little yellow arrow that sits in the address bar that I can click to read a link later.
 
I love this service! When I'm standing in a long line or waiting at the car dealership or can't fall asleep at night, I love catching up on my reading quickly and easily.
