Read It Later
February 2, 2010, 7:20 am EST
At the end of 2009, I was doing a test of the beta google browser Chrome. I am notorious for opening a bunch of browser tabs, and on this night I had 41 open. That’s 41 websites that I wanted to look through and read. And then it happened.
Have you ever worked on a document for hours and forgotten to save it only to have the program crash? If you’re a PC user, you know what I’m talking about to well! Well, with 41 browser tabs open, my beta browser crashed. Now, I didn’t lose my tabs because google chrome has a nice little feature that will open the last tabs you had open when you start it up. But just as I have learned to save my documents often, I now use a browser plugin to keep accidents like that from happening again. It’s called Read It Later.
Read It Later is a browser extension for Firefox and Chrome with a companion iPhone/iPod app. The browser extension sits in your browser’s toolbar with two simple icons: one to save your current page to a reading list, and another to provide your reading list for your. It’s as simple as that. If you create an account online, it will sync your reading list and you can access that list with your iPhone/iPod Touch app. While looking at your reading list, you can search through it, sort it, or remove items. Now when I go through my rss feed and open a bunch of articles I want to read, I just one click them into read it later, and I am able to declutter my browser while still having access to sites and articles I want to read later.
Read It Later is a small yet powerful extension that you should implement.
Below is a short video that discusses the Firefox extension
