<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0 Submitted by Amy Chatfield, USC<\/em><\/p>\n Save and Read Later tools\u00a0have been around\u00a0for some time.\u00a0You might be familiar with Delicious<\/a> (formerly del.ici.ous): save bookmarks into a central site, then access your account and your bookmarks from any computer. After signing up for Digg<\/a>, “dig”\u00a0a web page, news story, or video\u00a0online by clicking the Digg box, and it saves a link to the content in your personal Digg\u00a0account. All Digg user votes\u00a0are\u00a0counted to push popular\u00a0content to the top of the Digg main page. Facebook<\/a>‘s “like” section works similarly-\u00a0if you enjoy\u00a0a page, video, or news story on the web, click the like button, and\u00a0publicize this fact on your wall.<\/p>\n The newest generation of these tools\u00a0have focused on\u00a0improving the\u00a0ways in which you may access your content. They save or transfer the content of entire webpages so you can read it when you’re not connected to the World Wide Web (referred to as “the web” throughout this entry).\u00a0Some tools have started to\u00a0integrate other types of content, too, permitting you to include emails, tweets, and RSS feeds.\u00a0The four tools discussed below are all free and provide different types of access and levels of integration with other services. Check out these new tools and get through your reading list anywhere– on the bus, waiting in line, or even on the beach!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n InstaPaper<\/a> is available for PC and Mac and works with Firefox,\u00a0Safari, and Internet Explorer (IE)\u00a0browsers.\u00a0It works much like Delicious: sign up for an account, install the “Read Later” button onto\u00a0the toolbar or favorites menu;\u00a0 click “Read Later” to save a page to your account; log back in to InstaPaper from any computer to access your list.\u00a0 The newest extension is for\u00a0iPhone and iPod Touch users: download a free InstaPaper\u00a0app\u00a0and access the full text of all web pages saved in your Instapaper account from your device.\u00a0The app can also “copy” pages so you can view these when not connected to the\u00a0web.\u00a0Most unique is\u00a0email integration: each Instapaper account is supplied with a unique email address. Forward or send emails\u00a0to this address and\u00a0they are converted into “web pages” which can be accessed from the web-based acount or via the iPhone app, just like any other saved content.<\/p>\n ToRead<\/a> works with Firefox and\u00a0IE \u00a0browsers.\u00a0Signing up for a free account installs a “toread” button onto your browser; when\u00a0you are on a page you like, click\u00a0“toread,” and\u00a0\u00a0ToRead sends you an email version of the website instantly (many email clients permit you to download emails and read them when not connected to the web). Tomobi<\/a> is the mobile version of ToRead and can be used to send your ToRead bookmarks to your mobile device (unfortunately, there is no information available about what devices they do or do not support). This will create a text only version of the website you are viewing and send it\u00a0 instantly to your mobile device– no\u00a0web access is needed to view the page.<\/p>\n
