jbjb It's Paul Colligan for Apps N Tools Thursday. I want to tell you about a real time saving
strategic app and with an information gathering process that you might want to consider. The
app is called InstaPaper. It's available on the iPad, the iPhone, the iPod. It actually
works really great on the iPad but the iPhone version is fabulous as well. If you re on
the web and found an article of great depth and of great length that you need to read
later, you can use this app. What InstaPaper does is it gives you a special bookmark that
you add to your browser. You can add this to your iPhone browser. You can add this to
your regular desktop browser. You can even add this to the email address that you can
send these things to. What InstaPaper does is it takes that content, strips out all the
formatting and the flashing banners and the ads, and that kind of stuff. It presents the
content really simple, cleanly, and crisply through the InstaPaper product. You can view
that again on your iPad or your iPhone at a later date. It takes everything that you
ve sent, it syncs it up, and it makes it really easy to read. You can then mark it up. You
can share it with others. It has a real social element to it. Why would you want to use it
this? Well, at different times of the day you are able to consume different pieces of
content at different speeds. A quick email that asks a question, I could take that right
now. A tweet with a piece of information or piece of news that I have to digest, I can
take that right now. But when somebody out there writes a really insightful, indepth,
thoughtful blog post or article that I need to spend some time thinking about, I want
to read that later. I click the button and send it to InstaPaper. One thing I forgot
to add actually, InstaPaper has a whole Kindle element as well. If you want to read that
good stuff on the web through something beautiful like the Kindle format. InstaPaper, take look
at it and consider getting all of the long form stuff that you find on the web, format
it for InstaPaper so you can read it later and make sense of it. Paul Colligan, Apps
