The amount of suggested websites/spam on your email account is enormous. Sometimes it reminds me of Twitter and Facebook as to the number of messages received.

It's a great service that let's you store a little piece of the Web in the cloud. There are alternatives, of course, with pros and cons, but what's certain is that Pocket does what the others do, and does it in style and grace.
