Catchya LaterLoop!

I just found out about this slick service called LaterLoop. It’s a free and handy way to save things you find online and return to for later reading. I love the way it integrates with Firefox and I think you will, too.

It’s a Firefox plugin that provides you with a way to easily mark something as an item of interest that it will save to your LaterLoop account. There are just two simple things you need to remember.

Save your stuff
When you want to save something, you can click on the icon provided in bottom-right corner of your Firefox browser. But there’s an even better way to do that by way of a keyboard shortcut. Find something you like? Just press CTRL+Spacebar and you’re done! If you have more than one tab open and you press CTRL+Spacebar+Spacebar, the information is saved AND the tab closes by itself.

View your stuff
When you’re ready to read the stuff you saved, you just right-click on that icon in the bottom-right and select “Your LaterLoop” and you’re swiftly taken to your list of saved links (click here for a sample). While there, you can mark things with stars to indicate that you want to do something with that bit of information later. You can even use this on your iPhone and other smartphones.

I posted a while back about another Firefox add-on called ReadIt Later. I haven’t been too pleased with it lately. Either it’s faulty, or perhaps the data it has saved for me has become corrupt because I have maybe a dozen or so saved articles, but it doesn’t allow me to go through them. I’m giving LaterLoop a try for now.
