I’ve never liked Delicious as a book marking service; it’s too powerful, too cluttered, and more than I need. Instapaper has been how I’ve bookmarked things I wanted to read, listen too, or watch. It’s simple, elegant, and flexible. With folders and sharable starred lists, the site becomes even more powerful while still retaining that simplicity:
Another big update is that you can now subscribe to other Instapaper users’ Starred items, making the service social. The advent of the folder feature allows for this, as when you click on the “Add folder” link, you now have an option to add another users’ starred items simply by typing in their Instapaper username. Those items are placed in the left-hand sidebar of the Instapaper site, and when you click on a user’s name, you will see all their items just as you would your own Instapaper items.
New linked-list feeds, here I come.
