Thought: read-later services should be called read-never because, for me, most of the time, I rarely come back to read my saved articles.

@numericcitizen As someone that has been actively working on being better with my note-making when I save an article I require at least one good sentence regarding that piece. If I don't have that it isn't saved.

@jeffperry but for that it means that you are actually reading the article… so no need to save for later?

@numericcitizen I will usually just write a quick sentence about why I saved it and possibly tag it if I need to. If I am going down a deep dive on a topic I want to write about I will tag it accordingly, if it is something that I am researching I will tag it as well. Just something more than simply saving it helps make it more than just another item on my list.
