Online news junkie?

I LOVE this! Are you often reading news articles online? Do you hate the fact that when you read an article, there is all that “other stuff” surrounding the actual text, such as advertisements, hyperlinks to other articles, etc?

Well, there is a cool tool available called “Readability.” Readability was developed by ARC90 and is easy to setup. It works in IE, Firefox, and Chrome. First, select your setting preferences including the style, size of font, and size of margin. Then, if you use Firefox or Chrome, just drag the readability badge onto your bookmark tool bar. For IE, right click on the badge and save it as a favorite.

Then, the next time you are on newspaper website, open the news article of interest and click on the Readability bookmarklet or link in your favorites. The article will reopen without the clutter! See the before and after below:
