Been using it for maybe ten years, when it was called Read It Later.
It's simple, unobtrusive, multi platform. I can save and tag sites and read them anywhere. And with third party integrations can tag some pages to read later on, on my Kindle.
Initially it was just to read articles later on, but nowadays it's also a bit of a bookmark and archive tool.
They now have a subscription service that stores pages forever even if they cease to exist.
I don't use it for many bookmarks or anything. I have something else for that. Indeed, I never have thought of Pocket or its similar services as bookmark services, but rather curation services. And Pocket is the best! Owned by the formerly Open and Great Mozilla, it's awesome!
Instapaper vs Pocket
Instapaper Pros:
Pocket Pros :
Both apps have IFTTT integration.
Instapaper is wayy ahead of Pocket in terms of features! And it's Free!
It's buggy at best but it has a nice UI. The recommendations are biased and sexist and not curated properly.
It's cheap, unobtrusive and does what it should in a simple way. I use it for reading later, but also bookmarking my articles. The search feature isn't perfect but it's good enough. When I want to learn a new topic or I want to share the way I have learned something with colleagues the first thing I do is search my Pocket archives.
Owned by Mozilla yet no commitment to privacy. Most features locked behind the paywall of a proprietary software. It is way behind its competitors.
Good for catching up articles for later access with tags features to organise
