Read It Later

Listen Later is a clever service that turns long-form articles into podcasts [sponsored]

How long is your 'read it later' list? You know, the list of articles you'd like to read, but you just can't ever seem to find the time or motivation to do it? What if I told you there was a way you could start attacking that list while doing other things like driving, working out, doing yard work, or simply relaxing on the couch?

Meet Listen Later, a clever service that can turn any article into an audio track using AI-enhanced text-to-speech technology. This way, instead of you having to read through a lengthy article, you can have a human-like voice read it to you. The whole thing is super easy to setup, articles can be added in just a few taps, and the audio is automatically sent to your favorite podcast app for streaming or downloading. 

Facebook rolling out new ‘Save’ read-it-later feature

Facebook today announced a new feature that will allow users to save interesting items on the social network for later viewing. Users will have the ability to save things like links, places, recipes and media, and go back and view them at a later time.

The update is rolling out today to Android, iOS and web apps, adding support for French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. The company says that more languages, as well as support for international apps, will be added soon...

Pocket 4.1 is out with new features and UI enhancements

For those of you who aren't familiar with Pocket, it's essentially the reincarnation of Read It Later. The service allows you to bookmark and organize your favorite articles, videos and other web content for later viewing.

About a month ago, the Read It Later team released Pocket 4.0 for the iPhone and iPad — the first app released under the new brand. And while the client was great before, it just got a whole lot better...
