I just del.iciou.s-bookmark things with a tag of "toread." Quick and easy.

You could get it to move across computers if you use firefox portable and keep it on your thumb drive. For that matter, you can always copy things from instance to instance with FF Portable (although it's an all-or-nothing proposition to do so).

@rryan: Have you tried Tiddlyspot?

I'm going to wait for the update, hopefully it will have keyboard shortcuts and browser sync.

Just noticed that "Nate" (the fella who pecked out this extension) has left the following message on howtogeek;

This is Nate (the guy who made this extension). I'm wrapping up an substantial update to the extension this week (should be out soon). If you have any more suggestions, please shoot them my way.

Thanks!

I always think I'm going to save something to read it latter, but I almost never do. It turns out I have less time latter than I do now. Between my unread blog feeds, my podcasts, my magazine subscriptions, my jobs, my family and my social life, I get a little crushed. I'm just glad I don't have TiVo.

Foxmarks bookmark syncing really convinced me on the whole any-computer concept.

I've been using Google Notebook, but have been looking for a way to takes notes across computers. While Backpack is OK, I'd really like a server hosted TiddlyWiki solution. With TiddlySnip, TiddlyWiki is fabulous. Unfortunately any TiddleWiki server version has been a bear to install and doesn't work well.

The any-computer thing is deal breaker for me. I'm telling you folks, get your own private wiki or use something like backpack - you'll wonder how you ever lived with out it.
When I see an article that looks interesting but isn't immediately relevant I just paste it (topically) in my wiki. Next time I'm doing work in that area (like Ubuntu Dev, CSS hacks, or whatever) I just look up the topic and there's all these links I've saved for just the occasion.

Google Notebook is all I need

hector7g

Yeah, not sure I need an extension for this either... I just have a folder within FF's bookmarks; combined with Foxmarks' syncing, that's all I need. I suppose the integration with "any number of popular bookmarking sites, from Del.icio.us to Digg," is nice for those who are into that kind of thing...

@Advice_Network: I use Dreamhost which offers "1 click installs" of a lot of software including MediaWiki (which powers Wikipedia). I wrote up instructions on making MediaWiki private.
I think there are quite a few free hosted options out there as well. Since I have a big web hosting package already and like to fiddle with/control my data, this is the best option for me.

Next week on Lifehacker: How to declutter your "Read It Later" list.

xilience

As interesting as this looks, I don't see the point, as I typically just bookmark everything that I see and want to read later. All of my permanent bookmarks are in folders and I know where my read later bookmarks are. I won't go into the fact that I don't use firefox, but there are just so many extensions for it as my second browser that it all seems to be cluttering very quickly, when theres an easy and convenient solution with simply bookmarking and organizing.

mithrandiryod

I just print as pdf and pop into a folder called "reading" - plus you get a copy.

jadejag

@xilience: Ha! Too true. I installed Readeroo about thirty seconds after it was posted here a couple of weeks ago. To date, my toread/read ration is running about 6:1. But! I have some spare time coming up after the first of the year, and I plan to spend a large chunk of it on clearing my Read-and-File boxes.

@danielo: Readeroo does exactly that, except in one keystroke instead of nine. Damn handy. This extension looks nifty too, but I don't think it would integrate with my workflow quite as well.

lyndyn

Good idea, poor execution. Articles appear in the drow-down only after I restart Firefox. And I can't move the buttons from navigation bar (which I have turned off).

~Karolis

I e-mail the link to my gmail account. Then I can access them anywhere.

Just del.icio.us and a tag like "comeback" or "to read"

Why another extension? Just K.I.S.S. ... every option in my life is not a lifehack but the opposite. It slows me down.

lennart

@lennart:

Seconded. If you have the del.icio.us extension installed you can simply:

Ctrl+D
type tag: "tr" (toread) or "ltr" (much longer piece to read) or "tw" (to watch) "td" (big files to download at a more suitable) etc
Enter.

Done. No browser sync required, limitless lists of stuff to do. You can now delegate everything to a more suitable time, very quickly, and process your tr list very quickly using del.icio.us

It's easy to work through a week of toread's in the weekly review.

Mike

Just wanted to let you know I just released v0.5 which among other features, most importantly allows browser sync when used with Foxmarks. If you have any more suggestions, please let me know!

NateWeiner

I use toread.cc to install the bookmark in the browser of the machine I'm using (normally only my home or work machines), once I click on the favourite button for toread it screengrabs the browser and sends it straight to my email address.

All you need to do is register on their site and install the bookmark in your browser.
