Merlin Mann on Instapaper and Long-Form Content

November 15th, 2009

Merlin Mann on what Instapaper means for good, long-form content on the web:

I no longer cringe with guilt when I come across a 1000+ word anything that I know I want to read — but which I also know I have no time to read right now. So, I hit a button, and I forget about it. Now — especially combined with Marco and Nostrich’s not-missable Give Me Something to Read — I have no excuse not to lose myself in longer pieces of non-fiction whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Are you getting this? I hit one button, and magical and interesting things just…happen.
