For years now I have not had enough time to read all of the interesting things I run into online. And also, years ago, I wrote about a new app called Pocket (getpocket.com). Pocket allows you to save webpages from your Chrome browser to view later. To read them you return to the GetPocket.com site, open the website and read on.
However, over the past couple of years, others have taken the Pocket offering and improved on it. One of those I have successfully started using is called Annotary.
Before you install the extension in Chrome go to Annotary.com and sign up for a free account. This site is where your webpages will be stored and you can come back to visit them at any time. Then, just as with Pocket, go to the Chrome browser store and look up "Annotary," then finally install the extension like any other.
You will now have a new icon on your Chrome’s extension bar with an "a" in a yellow box. This is your Annotary icon. 
Now surf the web and work, read or research away. You find an incredibly long, detailed discussion you would like to read but you do not have the time. You can then click your Annotary icon and save the page to read later at Annotary.com.
However, there is much more you can do with that page. You can use an electronic highlighter which comes built in. You can highlight most anything on the page and then add a note regarding your thoughts on the article. I really appreciate and enjoy using this note taking feature. When I am reviewing articles for items to write about I use it to add my thoughts about the things I read and want to share with you.
I make "Collections" for each topic I am researching. Collections are what Annotary calls a group you create in your site where you can place what you are reading. The default is Miscellaneous; however, you can create as many as you wish, they are almost like folders.
One thing that is not spelled out very clearly in their information is that the default collection setting is public, not private. So, anyone can read you pages saved, when they visit the main Annotary site. However, you can easily open a collection and mark them private so no one but you can see them. Be aware that the default setting is Public so unless you change that setting everyone can see your saved pages.
You can also share your pages with others and they can add comments to your pages too. There are many good uses for this app for me for research. There are also others that are similar to it but this is the one I have settled on.
Give Annotary a try. Now I have to get back to Pocket and review all those articles I forgot about over the years and maybe move some of them to Annotary.
