Postponing But Not Forgetting

If an article headline ever caught your eye but you didn't have time to read it right then, there's an app for you. Instapaper allows you to save the article for reading later. Flipboard for the iPad lets you collect Facebook and Twitter feeds for later reading into your own personal "social magazine."

Both of these tools are useful only if you actually return at a later date and read the material. Otherwise, they could become the digital equivalent of the magazine rack or newspaper basket that is filled to overflowing with unread material.

If I had a smartphone, I would use Instapaper, but that's another bit of technology that will have to pass me by for now.

Until next time,
