Instapaper – Easy way to save something you want to read online, but you don't have time now

May 4, 2008 By Al Martine

I just came across a great little website that helps one save pages they want read but don’t have time right now.  This happens to me a lot via Google News or my Wired link.  See an article that looks interesting, click on ‘Read Later’ and the link is saved on their site. Then, either […]
