LaterLoop’s New Airplane Mode: Zipped Bookmarks On The Fly

It was only ten days ago that Mashable first offered a brief peek into LaterLoop, a bookmarking service created by the Greg Hochmuth, founder of Mento and zoo-m.com, which offers easy online/offline access to pages saved for later reading or referral through the use of a FireFox add-on. Users can also integrate the service with an devices called ScrapBook, or even employ a very basic bookmarklet, sans extensions. If you happen to hold a Google account, you can literally be complete new to LaterLoop and begin bookmarking in seconds.

Today we receive word from the company, featured this past week at the Google I/O conference, that it has launched yet another option to users, something it is calling Airplane Mode. Simply put, users can download bookmarks in three varieties - 30 newest, 30 oldest, or 30 shuffled - as a zip file. Once stored locally, users can open the package, click on the front-end HTML page, and and start browsing.

A word of warning. Some pages may prove visually accurate, while the formats of others are horrendously botched. We suggest sticking to fairly simple sites, where text fonts are reasonably large-sized. We tested pages from The New York Times, Wired.com, and Digg. The NYT went into zip format rather nicely (be sure to save from URLs that show stories as a single page, and not those divided into two or more), while the Wired link didn’t fare quite so well when pressed down into Airplane Mode. If you don’t mind stories delivered in bareboned, Google cache style, reading Digg stories and comments won’t bother you terribly.

LaterLoop does note on its website that the new feature is “still experimental and in testing,” so one would gather that formatting issues will soon be remedied. Let us know how your downloads come out.
