There are a lot of apps now that offer us the ‘read it later’ feature and so many browsers yield the same functionality. Though this technology is carried forward by many firms, the pioneer in this methodology can be attributed to Nate Weiner who had publicized it some years ago.

The functionalities these apps offer are quite high. These increasing number of downloads of these apps are showing the world how much the people are busy with their daily life.

This app as a Firefox extension has become a revolution as  it works on most platforms including the Android and iOS, and more than 300 apps (such as Zite, Reeder, Twitter, Pulse and Flipboard) have built in support for Read It Later. For instance, if you use Flipboard to read articles, a touch is enough to save it for later reading.

In 2011, with growth and increasing competition from the likes of Apple and Evernote, Weiner had to take $2.5 million in funding from the likes of Founder Collective, Foundation Capital, Baseline Ventures and Google Ventures.

With this money, he started an office where inSan Francisco8 people are employed and are currently working in incorporating new advancements in the Read it Later type of apps.

Have you ever got to try the app?
