I agree that too many options would be fiddly. Personally, I'd prefer to set my preferred bookmark service in the settings pane, outside Tweetie.

Today, I can only choose to use Instapaper or not. I'd much rather have the option of saving to Read it later, Delicious, Reddit, etc. In my case, the "context" menu for web pages in Tweetie would include Read it later. In your case, something else.

That way, everyone would have their way :-) ( Delete or Edit)

movito, this is just the solution i was thinking about (at the preferences level)

for an idea about the UI with multiple Social Sharing options, see the share function of RIL. ( Delete or Edit)

You should look at TwitterFon's integration of both Read It Later and Instapaper.

- On the share menu it has one button that says 'Read It Later'.
- When clicked for the first time it prompts you to enter your login for the service you want to use. (Read It Later has the added option of signing up for an account directly inside TwitterFon)
- After logging into one of the services, whenever you click the Read It Later button, it saves to your selected service.

Provides quick setup for multiple services w/o being fiddly. ( Delete or Edit)

Thanks, Dan. I'll check out TwitterFon. ( Delete or Edit)

Cool, will have to give it a deeper look. I only signed up and added the bookmarklets/got the iphone app. Sounds cool. ( Delete or Edit)

I tried RIL and prefer Instapaper, but I agree it sounds like there's enough RIL users to offer support for both if it's not a huge undertaking. ( Delete or Edit)

I agree that the Instapaper UI is cleaner for reading, but I prefer RIL because of what you can do with the article after you finish. While Instapaper can 'mail to' and 'open in safari', the output of RIL is to all sorts of social sharing options. much better, IMO. ( Delete or Edit)

update: i've started using readitlater in addition to instapaper. honestly these apps are cheaper than a starbucks latte (the new benchmark it seems for everything) and so i am happy to support independent innovative developers with what i can. i suggest others do the same when they can afford it especially after they've already paid for the iphone. in terms of looks i do hope RIL emulates Instapaper and i think a merged product could work nicely. instapaper i feel is more robust btw.

im currently using both apps. lets see where the competition takes them. the killer feature for me is to be able take a PDF and parse it as text like what they both do with web pages right now. its much easier to read a PDF that way on the iphone than to have to pinch and zoom. ( Delete or Edit)

Looking forward to it! ( Delete or Edit)

Disappointed that after all of the comments in this thread it's still only being 'considered'. ( Delete or Edit)

Dan,

I've moved beyond disappointment and have begun to encourage other developers (e.g. simplytweet) to integrate it.

Right now, I have a convoluted workaround (marking as favorite (star) in tweetie and then opening twitter on the web when in front of a computer and adding to readitlater) but for my needs and what I use twitter for (mostly communicating with industry leaders and sharing information/articles), I really need an app that supports an integrated workflow for marking links in tweets for later review. I wish InstaPaper were it, but its not, and I wish the tweetie dev team were more receptive to this idea for RIL, but for whatever reason (internal to their team) they don't seem to be the ones that will do it.

The irony is that readitlater integrates back to tweetie (for sharing articles once read) so it *could* be a match made in heaven. It's a shame, because tweetie is IMHO certainly the slickest UI out there, and yet this is a must have functionality for which i will bounce to the first app (other than twitterfon, too many things i don't like) that supports RIL integration.

So... who will it be: simplytweet or tweetie? (Based on the feedback from both, my money is on a switch... but i'd love to be wrong on this one.) ( Delete or Edit)
