If you’re like me, you find things all day long that you’d like to read, but deadlines (or just the general the need to focus on your day job) don’t allow you to always do that. So, do you bookmark it? That makes a hot mess pretty fast. Jot it down? Yeah, that’ll work.
Enter Instapaper.
All you have to do is register (free) and drag the “read later” icon to your bookmark toolbar (I use Firefox for Mac, and it was just a drag and drop). The next time you’re on a Web site, blog, whatever, that you want to save for later, you just click that icon. When you have some free time, you visit Instapaper, log in, and there’s your stuff. It works great on the iPhone as well, so a few spare minutes waiting for a meeting start can now become catch up reading time.
Nice work, Instapaper!

I have not tried Instapaper, but I think Safari already does this (for anyone who uses Safari), except you clip specific content (text, images, etc.) — not the whole page — and it saves it to your dashboard. Same with Flock, but you have to make sure you grab specific content (not just a page link) if you want it available offline.
