READABILITY - Tool to Cut Clutter

Learned about Readability, a potentially powerful new cool tool by arc90 that eliminates website clutter when you want to just focus on the content and not the surrounding "stuff". It is meant for articles, not home pages. According to its website, it is a 2-step process select your settings; add your bookmarklet. See the video:

I tried it by going to sfgate.com, selecting an article, hitting "Readability" marklet that I put in my toolbar, and MAGIC: it worked like a charm! This is also a good tool to add to library and lab computers.

Thanks go to American Libraries Direct for alerting me to this tool:
