I’m a huge fan of RSS and currently have close to 60 feeds subscribed to (via Google Reader). Obviously that’s a lot of articles to go through and I read only a small percentage of these. One problem is that many of these feeds are from sites that kick out a lot of content (Digg,Engadget,Techcrunch etc) and I can’t always read items of interest there and then. If I leave them unread on the feed this can be a pain as by the time I get back to the list there could be another 100+ items and I will have forgotten about the interesting one.
Well help is at hand. Marco Arment has knocked up a website that allows you to tag a page on another site for later reading. It’s called Instapaper and once you’ve set yourself up there is a bookmarklet to add to your links bar and then when you see an article of interest in RSS (or indeed that you some across any other way) you go to the page in question,click the bookmarklet and it is added to your Instapaper. Then when you have time on your hands,go to the Instapaper site and all your read and unread pages are listed for you to read at your leisure. I’ve found it really helpful.
