Shared Everything I know about Instapaper.

I hear people rave about Instapaper all the time, but I rarely see them expound on their affection in any detail. This post is pretty much the most thorough thought dump of how Instapaper works for me in 5 categories:

1. Uses for Instapaper folders
2. Instapaper search
3. Getting information into Instapaper
4. Miscellaneous Instapaper extras online
5. iOS Instapaper app options and tips

@thearystocrat so glad you’re representing #ALA at #NYCC. thanks for all of the exhausting work! (please tell everyone about #ngd10 :-p ) [shifted]

been using @instapaper on my phone. didn’t realize could send articles to #kindle. on the fence abt it. http://ping.fm/BObQ0 h/t @steverubel [shifted]

Must resist temptation to use #kindlefeeder. Love the idea but find I’m reading more books w/o internet distractions http://kindlefeeder.com [shifted]

Shared 100 Media Monitoring Tools for PR.

Although there are hundreds of media monitoring tools available online, some are very hard to find. We put together a collection of 100 such sources (software, applications and service providers), some free, some that require a fee. When it comes to media monitoring and analytics, it’s really hard to choose. Some offer in-depth features, but the price is too high; those that are free are not always that complete, or fast enough, or in-depth enough.

Shared Sweet Potato Gratin With Coconut Milk and Chipotle Chile | Care2 Healthy & Green Living.
