Yes, Read It Later is in the new Twitter. Here’s how to set it up:

1. Go to Me > Settings > Advanced > Read Later and link your Read It Later account

2. For any tweet with a link you want to add to Read It Later, you’ll now tap through the link before getting to the share menu:

Two Other Ways to Use Read It Later with Twitter

1. If you miss the one click save from the timeline, we recommend you check out some other Twitter clients with RiL quick add support—there are over 45 of them!—including apps like: Tweetbot, Echofon, Tweetlogix, Twittelator Neue, Twitterrific, and Tweetcaster.

2. Another cool option for syncing Read It Later with Twitter is a service called ifttt (if this then that). It’s an awesome utility for automating things in your life—they call these “recipes.”

For example, here’s a recipe that lets you automatically add any “favorited” tweet to Read It Later.

If you like ifttt, here are some other recipes we recommend with Read It Later.*

If you have any other suggestions, let us know!

*Note: ifttt currently is only one-way, so while you can add to Read It Later from Twitter, marking it archived in Read It Later won’t remove it as a favorite in Twitter.

If so, Read It Later can help you make the most of it: Save stories from anywhere on the web, then come back to your reading list anytime you want: relaxing on the couch, at your computer, or on the go.

Read It Later plans to add direct support for E-Ink Kindle devices in the near future. But in the meantime, we’ve scouted out some services that can help you send your saved Read It Later stories directly to your Kindle.

Here are some tips for getting started:

1. Sign up for Read It Later to set up your queue

You can get started here by creating a username and password.

2. Start saving content: Put the Read It Later bookmarklet in your browser

3. Set up your Kindle to receive personal documents

With your E-Ink Kindle, you’ll first want to set it up so that you can receive an emailed digest of personal documents (in this case, you’ll want to set it up so your Read It Later queue is emailed as a digest). Here are some tips from Amazon for setting up your Kindle. (Some fees from Amazon may also apply.)

The next step is to sign up for a service that connects your Read It Later queue with your Kindle digest. One independent service, called Crofflr, connects your RIL account to your E-Ink Kindle, for a one-time fee of $5. Another service, called Calibre, can help you sync your content and format ebooks for reading.

(Note: 2.4.3 fixes the black screen / bad 2.4.2 update from yesterday. Thanks to Apple for the quick review!)

This release is mainly around ensuring compatibility with the upcoming release of iOS 5, but we snuck in a few new features (and fixed a bunch of bugs!):

New features:

  • View images and embedded video in Article View (Free version)
  • Tweet attribution added to Article View (Free version)
  • Share menu updated to support Things task management app
  • Share menu updated to allow you to report bad article views directly from the app

After moving into our office last month, we’ve been working hard on a ton of new projects that will begin appearing over the next few weeks and months.

Ultimately, our goal is to revolutionize how people consume web content (articles, videos, and more). Today, we’re excited to announce the first piece. We’ve released an early preview of Read It Later’s new web app to all users. You can begin using the new app immediately to get a look at the direction we’re headed and a number of the new features that are coming to the rest of the platform soon.

Try the preview at: http://readitlaterlist.com/a/

A Brand New Experience

The biggest change you’ll see upon loading the Read It Later preview is a brand new view that comes alive with pictures and excerpts from the articles you’ve saved to your queue. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how we can create the best experience for consuming all the great content you discover across the web. The new tile view allows your items to stand out and speak for themselves, making it easier and more enjoyable to find the right content when you want it.

There is so much new in this release that we cannot list everything but here are the biggest updates:

Article, Video, and Image Filtering

You can now see all of the videos you have saved in your queue with a single click. Filter to see only articles, videos or images.


Favorites

You can now favorite items that you’ve really enjoyed and would like to keep track of later. Simply click the Favorite star on an item and your content will be saved in a new, dedicated Favorites section for easy reference.


Bulk Edit

Sometimes you’ve just gotta clean up your list. We’ve made it really easy to take action on a bunch of items at once.  Archive, delete, favorite, or tag multiple items with just a few clicks in the new bulk edit mode.


Deleting

Let’s face it, by the time you get to an article, sometimes it may no longer be relevant or interesting. Instead of cluttering your Archive with items you didn’t actually read, you can simply delete them from your list.

So Much More

There really is so much new in this app that you’re just going to have to try it!

This is just a preview and we’d love to have your feedback!

I was constantly trying to move articles and video from work to home but was failing to find an efficient method to do so. I was emailing myself links and keeping tons of tabs open in my browser and it just wasn’t working. Instead, I decided to build an extension for my browser that could keep track of my content.

What I built was called Read It Later.

Turns out, this was a problem that a lot of other people had too. Today, four years later, Read It Later has been used by over 3.5 million people. These people use it to save millions of links every week. They read on every browser and mobile platform and have saved over 100 million articles from the 256 applications that integrate Read It Later.

Read It Later grew not because it was made by a big company or a team with a lot of money or someone with connections in the tech industry. It grew because it was a product people loved and because it had a dedicated team who poured everything they had into building it. Surprisingly enough, even after all those years, that team was just one guy: me.

As you may have noticed, in all of my blog, Twitter, and support posts, I always used the word “I” when referring to the company. I’ve always done this because Read It Later was just me.

Read It Later has been an enormous amount of work for one person. Even though I’ve been lucky to have some very generous individuals lend their time and advice through the years, I’ve been the man behind the curtain building apps and extensions, programming, designing, going to meetings, answering calls, handling support, making decisions, and fighting through every minute of server downtime.

However, even as the main source of Read It Later’s progress, I ultimately became the biggest roadblock.

As the product has grown, it had become increasingly difficult to continue to do all of this on my own. I had a long roadmap and I wasn’t moving as fast as I (or the users) wanted. All the while, bigger companies made offers and others made similar products. Despite all of these attempts, it was incredibly clear that none of these other companies saw what I saw.

If I wanted to take Read It Later where I wanted, I was no longer going to be able to do it on my own.

Even though as a user you may not have seen a ton of new product releases or features in the past few months, I’ve been working non-stop on the biggest upgrade in the history of Read It Later: growing the company.

I’m thrilled to announce today that Read It Later has not only grown from a team of 1 to a team of 5 but has also raised $2.5 million in funding from Foundation Capital, Baseline Ventures, Founder Collective, Google Ventures, and a number of other insanely supportive investors.

After many months of putting this together, the team and I will be moving into our first office space in downtown San Francisco next week and will begin rapidly moving through the roadmap I had been working so hard to focus on.

Today is the last post I’ll be writing as “I.”  There is no greater feeling than having others believe in something you created and want to make it their own. I am honored and extraordinarily proud to stand alongside the incredibly smart and talented team of peers and investors that now make up Read It Later.

Read It Later is no longer “me,” but has become “we” and we could not be more excited to show you what we have planned.

- Nate

P.S. Want to be part of the “we?”  We’re looking for #6, 7, and 8 at Read It Later.
