ReadItLater is a Firefox add-on designed to help you keep track of new blog posts, news stories, etc. that you just don’t have time to read right now.
As you’re navigating the Interwebs, you’re bound to come across plenty of things that you’ll want to read when you have some spare time. Upon encountering one of these items, you can just click the ReadItLater button and save it for later.
There’s plenty of other extensions/add-ons that can do the same thing but RIL is definitely the most polished of the bunch. One of it’s more powerful features is the ability to synchronize your list across different computers.
This add-on has proven to be priceless but today’s release just made it even sweeter. Some of the new features released in today’s update include online access to your saved items (access them even without Firefox and ReadItLater), PostRank sorting of your saved items, enhanced UI-customization options (including a new option to read your list in a sidebar), enhanced offline functionality (have RIL automatically save offline copies of your saved items) and, my personal favorite, Google Reader integration.
As for that last item, if you’re like me, you’ve got a ridiculous number of RSS feeds and just want to flag an item to read later without actually opening the page. Well, you can now just check the box next to the item in Reader and RIL automatically captures the source and adds it to your list.
If you spend more than a few hours in the browser every day, you’ll definitely want to add ReadItLater to your frequently used Firefox add-ons.
