I regularly use Pocket, and I think it'll keep growing in an age where you're constantly being blasted with interesting content and have to save it for later. I also see it having more potential than the other apps, with the new recommendations service and opportunity saving other media.
I wouldn't call it a "news reader" though, and don't think it belongs in this chart.
- azinman2 11y agoI also find I put stuff in there only to never take it out again. A better designed product wouldn't let me shoot myself in the foot.
- acjohnson55 11y agoI agree. It should have a better way of making sure the "best" content for you floats to the top of your list, rather than going by recency. I'm intrigued by the new recommendations feature though, which might actually be a reasonable way to leverage the social aspect of article sharing. But I continue to lament the lack of a good way to have real discussion.
- leonroy 11y agoI used to love Pocket and used it since it was a tiny extension in Firefox. They actually introduced a great feature which turned your list into a magazine format with the highest rated articles at the top. Sadly they canned it not long after. Pity since I found Pocket very useful with that particular feature.
- azinman2 11y agoActually it isnt ranking. I need it to not be an infinite sink. Either limit total, push old to email, implement some kind of snooze, inject content back into sites it came from, etc.
