I’ve been trying Pocket as my “read later” service for a week or two and it turns out I’m just as adept at ignoring stuff there as I was when using Pinboard.

@jack Bookmarking is my favorite way of letting go.

@jack It's why I've never switched off of the Pinboard/Instapaper combo I've established. Why do I need another service to ignore? 😉

@jack I loved Instapaper from day one. Eventually recognized it for what it was: a read-it-never service.

Saved me a lot of time, though... 🤔🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@jack I always believed for me read later services are where bookmarks go to die — tagged, never to be read again. I know it shouldn’t be the case. But it invariably turns out to be.

So now I keep links open in a Safari tab. At least I happen to read them sometime.

@jack I have blocked out a couple of hours every week to a) remove the stuff I don't want to read anymore b) read some of what's in Pinboard.

@amit @jack I use "send to kindle" option whenever I hsve a flight. Usually I'm no longer interested in about 2/3, but the remaining 1/3 is great

@akurjata For me, my kindle is already full with the books I need to catch up to. I did attempt once to bookmark links in Kindle. But typically, a web page tends to link to an external, additional resources, on kindle that experience of browsing is just not worth going through.
