Developer Toolbox: Best Firefox Plugin Ever – Read It Later
Monday 3 November 2008 - Filed under Code
I’m always surfing the web and often times I’ll see something that I don’t have time to read so what to do? Bookmark it? Then I can’t access it from home? Add it to delicious? That quickly becomes a mess.
Recently I found a cool extension that was designed just for this – Read It Later.
This Firefox extension allows you to save pages of interest to read later. It eliminates cluttering of bookmarks with sites that are merely of a one-time interest. A commenter below (Chris) summed it up very well: “It’s a ’staging area’ for bookmarks.”
I’ve been using it for awhile with great success and recently they added the killer feature – integration with Google Reader! So now I can easily mark something to read later from within Google Reader. Sweet!
This video is a nice introduction…

Dude, if you like this, check out Evernote. Does the same thing, but they have a FF plugin, safari / ie bookmarklet, desktop apps for win and mac, and iphone / windows mobile apps. So basically you can read your saved pages from anywhere. With Evernote you can do web pages, text snippets, images, whatever. Your image uploads get OCRed. You can add key words for archiving and tons of other stuff. Definitely, give them a look.
