Long Reads: The New Website Most Important to the Future of the Internet
It's the future of the Internet—the just-launched Long Reads website! Previously conducted solely through Twitter, the Long Reads project is now live, searchable and full of wordy goodness. Here's where you can help: the most-frequently suggested sources for Long Reads are good but a little traditional, including as they do the Times and the New Yorker and those usual suspects. And also the list of writers being added are a little expected too (and with only one woman in the top ten—Jill Lepore!). You can help! This is the one time we actually agree with the usually fascist advice that if you see something, say something. You too can use The Twitters and the hashtag #longreads to do more important things than discussing your cat's bowel movements!
Do I still get to use Longform?
Serious question this time: is there a way to drop stories from this site into my Instapaper queue, outside of plugging in the url manually? Because that's a pain in the ass.
Drag the \"Read Later\" bookmarklet up to your toolbar. You can get it from the page that lets you enter a URL on the Instapaper site. It lets you add anything from any site to your Instapaper queue (though if the article is on more than one page you\'ll need to open it in a print view, or use a pagezipper –otherwise only the first page will show up in your queue).
blily, you are America's greatest hero, and I love your glasses.
You can also subscribe to Long Reads as a folder within Instapaper. Just type in the site's RSS feed as the URL for the folder, and it will automatically sync all the pieces posted to Long Reads for you.
Well, that's nice.
Speaking of which, my cat has been thinking outside the box lately. Is there a cure for that?
Unfortunately, the cure involves Fourth Meal.
Sign me up, but I'm not giving up my dataplan yet.
Wow, m.theawl.com is kind of what you'd call "mad broken."
At least there seems to be a cookie set when I click "FULL SITE"? Which is a good thing!
WOW I'LL SAY!
coffee and cigarettes work really well for my felines
