Video Interview: Marco Arment of Instapaper

I took a quick trip uptown today to learn more about Tumblr and meet with their team. (I will have a video interview next week up with Tumblr's co-founder, David Karp.)

While I was there I shot this five-minute interview with Marco Arment, who developed Instapaper as a side project. (Follow him on Twitter @MarcoArment)

If you haven't tried the fantastic Instapaper service, be sure to check it out. Instapaper, which works on many mobile devices, is really for active web readers. It makes it a snap to save articles for future reading. Though we don't have it on video, Marco showed me some of the forthcoming features in Instapaper 2.1 for the iPhone. The new version, which should be out in a few weeks, has stronger integration with Twitter and Tumblr.

It's an awesome service I discovered through Gravity, the twitter client for Symbian 60 devices (I use a Nokia N95). I just forward any interesting links to Instapaper and they're ready to be read when I get home. Excellent.

Ironic that a interview with Tumblr be posted on a Posterous blog.

I also want to send me love to Instapaper. Awesome project. I use it every day to mark websites that people send out through twitter but I don't have time to read on my iPhone. When I get to my desk I have a nice stack of vetted articles to check out.
