#12I guess "reading" would need to be defined here. Sometimes I look at the headline of an article and decide "this 'might' be useful later"....then I add to Pocket with some appropriate tags, with no immediate intention of reading.
EDIT: if it's an article with important enough information in it that I'll likely need. While I'm reading it, I'm usually taking notes in nvAlt that I can reference in the future in a way that's indexed/organized for me to find.

#13Why only URLs ? Replace it with a textfield (140 Chars) and it is a reminder for everything. Auto-Conntect with Calendersoftware would be nice too.
I second this. I have about 70 unread emails in my personal inbox. 64 of those are emails I sent to myself, text, urls, just subject lines, etc...

#14Finally, someone paying attention to this. Browser extension should be high priority!
Correct. Copy, New Tab, Paste, Add Email, ... Too many steps. However this is a start.

#15>Isn't this the same as bookmarking? >No, because when you bookmark you have to remember to go back to your list of bookmarks to re-read the article I have a folder on my bookmark bar titled "Articles". When I don't have time to read an interesting article I see, I add it to that folder. When I'm bored and can't find anything to read, I open that folder. I'd argue that most people's pain point isn't lack of rememberi…
Actually, that's exactly the problem that I have.
I don't have a habit of checking in on my Pocket account, so I often end up Pocketing things that I want to read later, forgetting about them altogether, and then finding them weeks after they're no longer relevant or useful.

#16Pocket (which used to be called readitlater) is a superior option in my opinion http://getpocket.com/ it has a desktop app, ipad, iphone, android, chrome extension ... and integrates with a shitload of apps (Newsblur, feedly etc etc). It also very beautifully designed. I use it every day, and have done so since it was first released.
Except one is a bookmarking service that allows you to tag, it and the other is a reminder service... rereadit.co talks about this on the front page. Bookmarks you have to remember to go back and read it. This notifies you even if you forget to go to the bookmark.

I've got a "Other Bookmarks" folder on my Chrome Bookmarks bar that backs up what you're saying.
I always add things there to read later, and then I forget, and then I spend my time cleaning it out of crap that's no longer useful or relevant.

First thing I thought was a Chrome extension that you can click and it'll take the current tab url, and either popup a little window asking you when to remind, or you can set a default reminder time in the options.

#19Neat! I was just thinking of building something like this!! I'm eagerly awaiting the chrome extension. When I was thinking of doing this, I thought the extension should have tagging as a form of organizing things to read later. I was really thinking of it as bookmarking + reminders. Let me know if you need some help!
