Instapaper Goes Social With Sharing, Likes, And Friends. I remember when I first fell in love with Instapaper.
It was a few years ago, and most people were still using Delicious or worse, their browsers, to bookmark things on the web. Delicious was still solid at the time, but it was also pretty slow. Instapaper was wonderful because it was fast. You hit one button (a bookmarklet) and it saved an article to read later. The reality is that the service hasn’t changed all that much over the years. Instapaper 3.0 is a massive update. You can now easily share things you Instapaper to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinboard, and Evernote. And that another big new feature: Likes. The service now has a social layer that allows you to subscribe to Likes shared by other users you know (you find them via your contact list or the other social networks). There’s also a new “Editors” button which allows you to find new curated content from the likes of Longreads, Longform.org, and Instapaper’s own “Editor’s Picks”.
TaxTrackr: Where Does my Money Go? - InvestorGuide.com. What we could have bought with the $4 trillion we spent on Iraq and Afghanistan. Americans like us some war, but to the tune of $4 trillion?
In adjusted dollars, that's just short of what it cost us to whup the Nazis. Here's a look at what we could have done with that money, had we spent it on something besides stoking Americans' confusion over whether or not the world's 1.5 billion 'Muslims' are in fact a monolithic group whose every member is a terrorist. Provide 280 million people with 100 percent renewable energy (based on this study of moving the entire planet to renewables). Pay for America's entire high-speed rail system eight times over — and that's according to a deliberately high, rail-hostile estimate from the CATO institute. Pay for a comprehensive preschool system for every child in America 40 times over.
