Three views on text & distraction

If you have have an opinion on short bursts of unbroken text ... then perhaps one of these will be entertaining.

1. Nation Shudders At Large Block of Unbroken Text (The Onion)

2. What Would Google Do (Jeff Jarvis, buzzmachine.com)

3. Uninterrupted Reading (mnmlist.com)

3. The Readability Bookmarklet (An Arc90 Labs Experiment)

4. Instapaper (Instapaper.com)

In each case, there is a definite & clear opinion. I am admittedly biased myself, and prefer to do some reading without interruption. Hence why I've checked out (and recommend) the two tools recommended by Leo Babauta in his article on un-distraction.

Whatever your opinion, make it work.
