How to use LaterThis with Instapaper
Instapaper is, just like LaterThis, a great tool for saving links for later. Instapaper also has great support in other applications like Tweetie for iPhone and several different RSS readers. I have been using Instapaper myself alongside with LaterThis for the last weeks. It works ok, but it’s hard to remember which service I used to save the link. So I decided to integrate Instapaper with...

Improved search
We just pushed out some tweaks to the search function. Searches with multiple keywords should be much more flexible and stable. You can now also search for links within a domain by entering the url, e.g try searching my links for links from 37signals.com

A new login system
During the weekend LaterThis got a new login system. As a user you shouldn’t see any difference, but it could be nice to know that the login procedure is now more secure and reliable.
Don’t hesitate to contact me (use the email at the bottom on this page) if you have any questions or feel that something is not working as expected.

About performance
First of all, we are really sorry for the bad performance during the last weeks. LaterThis has been terrible slow and unresponsive.
However, last week we made a huge update to the code, database and the servers. Over the last days we have been monitoring the changes and things are now back to normal.
We will continue fine-tune over the next couple of days to make things run even smoother.
Thank...

New feeds
We have made some changes to how feeds are handled in LaterThis.
You can now get separate feeds for all latest links, read links, unread links and starred links. You can also subscribe to feeds for a tag or groups of tags.
You’ll find the specific feeds at the bottom of each page. E.g if you want to subscribe to starred links, go to the Starred tab links and look for the RSS link just...
Private links
It is now possible to mark a link as private. This means that no one but you, as a logged in user, can see the link.
To mark a link as private you need to edit the link and select the Private check box. If you want to mark all your saved links as private from now on you can go to your settings page and select Set links to private as default. This will not mark your links saved up until now as...

Planned downtime
We will start the move to the new server setup this saturday (January 17th). Some downtime will most likely occur. We will try to make the move as smooth as possible and report updates on Twitter continously.
Upcoming changes to LaterThis
The new year brings a few changes to LaterThis.
First of all, we are planning a move to a new server set up. The move will take place within two weeks and it will most likely cause a few hours of down time. We will try to make the transition as smooth as possible and we will keep you updated along the way.

Easier tagging
Tagging links just got a bit easier. Today we have added an auto complete function to the tags field on the page for saving links. Just start typing and your tags will appear.
On the same page, we have also cleaned up the tags in the right column and limited it to only list your most frequently used tags. As before you can click on a tag to add it to the tags field.
Happy tagging!

Improved iPhone version, now with Tags
During the weekend, the iPhone web version of LaterThis has been revamped. The navigation has changed slightly and you can now access your tagged links directly from your iPhone or iPod touch.
Try it out by pointing your mobile Safari to laterthis.com/your_user_name. Also don’t forget that you can save links to LaterThis from your iPhone.
LaterThis add on for Firefox
I am happy to announce that LaterThis now has a Firefox add on. After installing the add on you’ll get an icon next to the adress bar in Firefox. Clicking the icon will launch a pop up that lets you save the link.
Saving links from the add on works pretty much the same way as from the bookmarklet. In fact, if you use quick post you’ll see no difference. If you use regular posting...

Every day hundreds of links are saved to LaterThis. Now you can find the most popular links in one place on LaterThis Popular.
The feature is powered by PostRank which means that the popularity rank is collected from all over the web. The more a link is saved to Delicious, saved to Digg, commented on etc the higher the rank is.
LaterThis popular is great if you are looking fot high quality...
Url details gets a bit smarter
If you find a link you like you will probably enjoy more links from the same provider. Now you can do just that. Go to url details for any link and you will see more saved links from the same domain.
Example: If we look at the details for Workplace Experiments from 37signals we will see that 10 more links have been saved to LaterThis from 37signals.com
This is an easy way of finding more links...
Small update: Url details
Here’s a small but nifty update:
If you click “Url details” just below any link you can now see who else has saved the link together with all tags and comments.
For example, these are the url details for the link “Applying Divine Proportion To Your Web Designs” from Smashing Magazine:
