Don't Have Time to Read Lorton Patch Right Now? Save the Story on Instapaper

Reading takes time, we get that at Lorton Patch. That's why we pay such close attention to what we publish. We also know that the Internet is a crowded, noisy place filled with gadgets that are supposed to make our lives easier but actually have the opposite effect.

One of the helpful gadgets is located at a fairly new website called instapaper.com. The concept behind Instapaper is simple, as most good ideas are. If you come across something on the Internet that you want to read, but don't have time right now, you can save it to read later. It's not for saving your favorite websites (your favorites/bookmarks bar takes care of that), it's just for individual stories that interest you.

You simply download the software from the instapaper.com site and then drag the "Read Later" icon into your favorites/bookmarks toolbar. There are more bells and whistles of course and there is an app for smartphones. For more info check out the instapaper FAQs. Download it and give it a try. You can read Lorton Patch when it's convenient for you.

Just for the record, I don't have any ownership interest in Instapaper and neither does Patch.com or AOL. I just think it's really cool and useful.
