Save links for later with Readbag

by Nancy Messieh Jul 7th 2008

Readbag is a useful website for setting aside links to read later. You don't even have to sign up to use it - provided you have a Google account.

Add a bookmarklet to your browser and you'll be up and running in minutes. Quickly add websites and access your stored links later in a variety of different ways including on your phone, via email, your feed reader or in offline mode, and it has a built-in share system to boot.

You might be wondering how this differs from built-in features in your run-of -the-mill feed reader or a more organized social bookmarking system – and the answer is it doesn't. Readbag's saving grace is its simplicity. It doesn't strive to be more than just an easy way to save and share online content. It really come in handy when you're browsing on a mobile device. Add the bookmarklet to your mobile device's bookmarks and it works exactly as it would on your computer.

I've recently started using Read It Later. It'll serve up an RSS feed as well, designate pages to read later easily in the URL bar, and view what you've saved in the toolbar so you don't have to go to any web page. It also will pipe pages onto your machine to be read offline which is highly nifty when you're unconnected.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
