Using InstaPaper to Improve Blogging Habits

It has been a while since I’ve looked at iPhone apps that allow access to web pages in offline mode and that’s only because I’ve been quite happy with the combination of ReadIt Later and Yummy (you can read more about how I use them in this post Yummy and Read It Later).

Anyway, in my attempt to improve my blogging habits I thought I should set up a different flow that would allow to stay focused. So, right now I am using a combination of Google Reader (if you are not a regular reader of this blog you might want to check my posts on Google Reader linked in the resources section) and InstaPaper for tracking the topics I’d like to further investigate. think and write about. There are only a couple of days since I’ve started to use this setup, but so far it looks to work pretty well.

Unfortunately due to this error in the AppStore I payed for InstaPaper twice and now I’m wondering if there is a way to donate one of the versions to somebody else (or in the worst case to get a reimbursement). Any ideas?

If you like the idea of a nice editor for writing, you can take a look at Ommwriter: a Mac writer tool, which is a new possible alternative for WriteRoom. And there is always ☞ JDarkRoom alternative.
