What you do when you come across any interesting website which you want to refer back for reading? Bookmark the site, and then quite possible that you forget about the site. I was doing the same bookmarking the interesting site and finally ended up with huge bookmark list.
To solve this problem I started copying the content and sending it to my special Gmail suffix username+readthis@gmail.com . So that I can filter the mail and read the article later on. This used to be time consuming, tedious and not productive as well.
The service “I Need to Read This” addresses this kind of problem. Add two bookmarklets in your browser and you are ready to go. What this service does is when you come across anything interesting which you want to read later, click on the bookmarklet “I Need to Read This” and the link is saved in the cloud. This service has another bookmarklet button “Read An Article”. When you click on this it serves you the pages you have saved in reverse chronological order. And when you click it again, it will take to second story.
The service maintains the complete list of your saved pages. You can access the list by logging in to the service. And since this service is bookmarklet based, you need install anything and it can be used from the public computer as well.
Another service worth mentioning here is “Read Later” by Instapaper. This is also a bookmarklet based service. The USP of this service is that this service generates RSS feed of the unread items, which I find quite convenient to keep track that what I have saved for future reading.
Another feature is that you can “star mark” the saved pages for easy filter (like Gmail). You can also access the deleted links and besides this the RSS Feed option is also there. All these combinations makes this service a killer service.
