New addition to my daily workflow: Pocket

Formally known as Read it later, Pocket has vastly improved the way I consume content on-the-go. Not being impressed with the current competing read later apps for daily use, continuing reading an article from the desktop to the mobile relies greatly on memory and since not all web sites are optimized for viewing on mobiles, navigating pages are a laborious task. The whole experience is very uninspiring.

Saving content for reading later whether using your mobile or desktop is a breeze with Pocket. The text and images are extracted from the content your have saved and is optimized beautifully to be read distraction free on an Android, iPhone/iPad or any browser using the web app.

It all works seamlessly from clicking the bookmarklet on the current web page your are viewing and then picking up a mobile device with Pocket to resume reading the same web page page on the move. It even remembers where you were reading last on the page, so picking up any device that has Pocket resumes exactly where you left off.

With over 300 apps integrating Pocket functionality and an easily accessible API, there’s no shortage of ways you can save to Pocket. I highly recommend you check out Pocket. It will make reading on the move much more enjoyable.

MetroTwit, the Twitter client for Windows

From its inception last year, MetroTwit has matured into a fully featured Twitter client. It is in part designed and developed by Long Zheng of istartedsomething.com fame. The interface is inspired by Microsoft’s Metro design language which in turn makes it a joy to read tweets.  It is by far the best Twitter client I have used on Windows and with development speeding ahead it is likely to remain the Twitter client of choice.
