Popular news reading app/service Pulse just got better by integrating some of the Instapaper features. The all new Pulse bookmarklet lets you save some story for the later reading when you will be able to access it either from your computer, smartphone or tablet. What’s more, if you use Google Chrome, there’s a dedicated Chrome extension that does the same job and we’re pretty confident similar add-ons are in works for other popular browsers.

While I personally don’t use Pulse — I prefer the old school RSS instead — I’m hearing it’s getting more popular with the day. At the moment, the service is used by more than 5 million people and that number will most likely keep growing.

Alternatively, if you’re using Google Chrome as your primary web browser and also have an Android device (but don’t want to run Pulse), you may want to try out the Chrome to Phone extension along with a dedicated mobile app…

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
