Read it later...

Sometimes the little things make my life so much easier! "I need to read this" is helping me create my own, customized reading list.

How many times have you run across an article or blogpost that you really find interesting, but you simply do not have time to read it right away? I have tried bookmarking these sites, making a list of interesting urls, emailing the url to myself...every attempt to save the item for later always ends in it being forgotten or lost.

Well, now I don't have to worry about that! I just signed up for "I need to read this". The site is extremely simple. Just create a username and password, add the two bookmarklets to your favorites (IE) or bookmarks (other browsers). Then, when you see an article you want to read later, click the bookmarklet "I need to read this". When you find yourself with a free moment on your hands, go to the "Read an article" bookmarklet and see what you have saved.

So simple, yet truly genius! Now, I would be interested in the idea of sharing these reading lists with my friends and colleagues. I wonder if that will be an option in the future.
