Unabashed

Web2.0 strikes again.

Finally a better way to manage the internet’s mass of information. I’ve been a del.icio.us user for a couple of years now and I can tell you my account seems overwhelmingly crammed with stuff. Interesting stuff, but overwhelming nonetheless. Ditto for my IE bookmarks. Well, try this out for size:

[toread] is a great little tool that lets you view an article in your own time without having to bookmark it for later, either with your browser or in del.icio.us. Add a little javascript bookmark to your toolbar and when you find an article you’d like to read but don’t have the time at that moment, click the bookmark [toread] and it emails the page to your email address.

One great advantage to this–for me at least–is that I can surf the web on my desktop, find some articles or stories of interest, [toread] them and then check my email on my Palm TX later to read the articles. I love reading on the TX, I just hate surfing on it, so this kills both birds with the same bookmark :-)

This is what Web2.0 is supposed to be like, yes.
