I am the kind of guy to try about any Web 2.0 apps. I tried the other day this little application called Instapaper
This application let you do 1 and only 1 thing; Save a bookmark of a page for later. If, during the day, you stumble on a page and you don't have time to read it, use this application and, later on, you will be able to come back and read everything that you filled there. There is some other little features (IPhone/IPod Touch feature most likely) like a converter to text only, to read the web page unformatted, and an RSS feed of your unread items.
But, in the end, this application only purpose is to bookmark item for later usage ! I like this kind of application that do 1 thing and do it good. But at this point, should I use simple Bookmark ? Should I only use my del.icio.us account, with a label like 'toread'.
I like simple application but, is at some point are we using to many applications ? I will continue to use it and, I will let you know ...
Read it later ... Wednesday, April 16, 2008

i used it for one month, great application, but I forgot about its existence. I think it should send a reminder of the unread items once every 2 weeks.
To accomplish something similar, I now use a combination of NetNewsWire's clippings (for RSS) and Mobile Safari's emailing. Needless to say, my iPod touch is now my primary device, as I spend more time on it than on my desktop.
