Instapaper for Lightning Fast Online Resume Sourcing?

This morning I came across mention of a nifty, fast tool for clipping online articles that you can read later at your leisure. The tool, called Instapaper, is free and easy to sign up for and works beautifully when you see something interesting but don't have the time right away to review it in detail.

Perfect for collecting online resumes and contact information, right? It's even better than that.

If you're on a sourcing expedition for new contacts and you're in a hurry, this clipping tool is a real asset in your arsenal. (If you're a job seeker, it's pretty cool, too, since you can use it to quickly clip job openings on boards or elsewhere that look interesting and return to them later.)

Getting Started

Sign up for an account. All you need is a valid email address and you're set to go. Then drag the "Read Later" button up to youlbr toolbar.

Any time you are on a web page and see an interesting article, just click the button and it will quickly and automatically be sent over to the Instapaper site for later reading.

Once it's there, you can opt to read it in its original HTML format or in plain text. It also looks like you can pull up any of the materials there on your Amazon Kindle.

Now, I suppose you can make the same argument for any web clipping tool. I've used and use both Microsoft OneNote and Evernote and they are both wonderful apps. However, for speed and simplicity when I just want to clip something and go--this is the speed demon I was looking for.

I have a feeling that I'll be getting a lot of use out of this tool. Have you used it? How do you like it? Got an alternative tool? Let's hear about it in Comments.
