Using “Readability” to cut the clutter

arc90 I just discovered Readability by Arc90. It’s a great browser plug in that helps you cut through the clutter when reading content on the web. I am using Fire Fox as my browser and Readability is a toolbar item that when clicked will provide you with a view of a web page MINUS all of the clutter. It cuts out the ads, the side bar and top bar navigation to focus in on just the content.

Here’s a screencast I put together to show you how it works. Now, you can easily get a content only view of a page, clip it to Evernote and then turn that page into a task or message within Pelotonics! It is very easily done and helps cut through the clutter that we normally have to fight through.

Try it out and enjoy!
