My Starred Posts
If you want to check out random articles I find most interesting, I’ve routed my Instapaper starred posts feed through Google Reader so they can be presented for public consumption. There’s also a link to it in my sidebar.
Instapaper is sort of like DVR for the Web. It’s a simple web tool that lets you mark a website to “read later” using a bookmarklet in your browser. The entire page is copied and whisked away to a few different places, including: a separate website that lists your articles, including folders for organization; and an app on the iPhone, where I can read everything offline (i.e., while on the subway).
It’s built and maintained by the lead developer of Tumblr, Marco Arment. So yeah, it works.
