Phonifier: use it like a feed reader in sidebar
So you know PHONifier will clean a website for your mobile browser (with or sans images),
but have you tried it on your laptop? in the sidebar? Bookmark PHONifier.com in your Firefox browser, in properties of the bookmark, select that it should open in sidebar, and done! When you open Phonifier, add a URL in the top of the phonifier sidebar window, and you have a clean, feed-like view in the main browser window. Why does this matter (why not just view the feed)? Lest you forget:
What I like about Phonifier: it strips away much of the busy-ness of many sites, and it stays with you (ie, when you click to the next link, you stay “Phonified”, much like the way Google Reader rendering stays with you on a mobile).
And, speaking of mobile web on your laptop, surely you’ve tried mobile gmail in your sidebar. Surely.
