So I'm a huge fan of reading - but sometimes, there's just not enough time for you to read all the articles, blogs, books, etc. that you want to. Underground, you can't access any online articles unless you're already subscribed via RSS feeds. There a million excuses as to why you can't catch up on your reading in any given day. But think about how many interesting articles there are for you to read - on topics and issues you can relate to, or otherwise just want to become more knowledgeable on...
Well, I found this interesting website called Wordss. It features popular articles that you can put onto your Blackberry, iPhone or Kindle. The vast collection of articles are broken up into word count - and time it should take you to read it -- so if you're on the subway for 3-5 minutes, there's a plethora of 1,000 word articles for you to browse. If, say, you're going from Hoboken to Fair Lawn - about a 25 minute ride - you can choose a 10,000 word article - a calculated 30 minutes worth of reading.
All the articles are from credible periodicals - New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Wired, etc. -- I mean, it's like catching up on your Tivo, but with reading!
Enjoy the site!
I like that idea a lot, but the link is broken.
