6 great ways to keep links for later

Unfortunately, there are not enough hours in a day. Especially if you have a lot to do. Blogging, research, correspondence and real life do not always leave us time to read all the news. Sometimes we want to save something until better times without cluttering up bookmarks.

ReadBag

ReadBag is a quick and easy bookmarklet for saving links to later. It requires a Google account or, perhaps better, an OpenID. The interface is simple and neat, all features are available from the main page. You can archive bookmarks after reading them, mark them with stars, add notes, or simply delete them. ReadBag offers a number of goodies: the ability to import, an extension for Firefox, integration with Google Reader, support for Google Gears, an RSS feed for bookmarks and a mobile interface for both simple phones and for iPhone. Sorry, tags are not supported.

Instapaper

Instapaper is a really simple bookmarking service. With a single simple bookmarklet for page marking, Instapaper does not add as much as rivals. You can edit the title and address of the bookmark, consume the RSS feed, and add notes to the links. There is one great opportunity: when you click the “text” link next to the bookmark, you can read the pages without leaving the site and without any extra tinsel. In general, the service is very straightforward, has a clear interface and does not distract at all.

LaterLoop

A new tool from the authors of the social bookmarking service Mento , LaterLoop , offers the most extensive opportunities among the services reviewed. There is a neat extension for Firefox with support for hot keys, support for mobile devices, import and synchronization with Del.icio.us, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc. Offline mode is integrated with the extension for Firefox Scrapbook , and not with Google Gears. Also links are available in text version. However, its interface is reminiscent of the terrible reformatting that Google does for mobile phones. In general, LaterLoop provides a clean and uncluttered interface, like the other services reviewed.

LinkRiver

We have already considered LinkRiver as an excellent service to find more news on a quiet day . But when the rhythm of life quickens and time begins to be missed, LinkRiver provides a convenient bookmarklet for saving elements for later. If you are a user of the site, you can tag content directly from your profile.

FriendFeed: Reed Later

Fans of the FriendFeed aggregation service will love the Geasemonkey Read Later script. From allows you to postpone the recording in FriendFeed until later. This is a very useful tool to quickly run through the FriendFeed tape, and then return to articles that would have been mired in the stream without it. After installation, you will see the “Later” link at the end of each entry. There is also a convenient tab for viewing pending entries, added by the script in FriendFeed.

Bonus: Mark this as a star in Google Reader

If you use Google Reader for an endless process of viewing news feeds, the ability to mark your posts with a star is a good way to save them for later. To quickly comb your streams, select the “View as List” display in Google Reader. Then mark only the headlines you liked with a star. “Mark all as read” and repeat the procedure until you have disassembled all your streams. Now you don’t have to read too much and you’ll have time to study the records of your interest at leisure.

Reading at your leisure

When you have little time, these services will allow you to pause reading. They allow users to return and read articles at a more relaxed pace, without wasting time or feeling stress.
Just remember to come back and read them. Otherwise, it will take a long time to rake.

Gag

From myself I will add that for me the most important opportunity was the availability of an application for iPhone that allows you to read without connecting to the network. This option offers Instapaper, which for me will be the decisive argument in favor of upgrading to 2.0. I will write about the results in the update or comments, and I am waiting for your feedback.
By the way, the domain napotom.ru is free, so here's an idea for you, the master of cloning.
I express my gratitude to payalnik Soldering, that I pushed on this topic and allowed me to get rid of dozens of weeks of non-closing tabs.
