Postponer is an awesome ReadItLater extension for Google Chrome

I primarily use Google Chrome for my desktop browsing, but I do a fair amount of surfing on my iPod touch as well. ReadItLater is an awesome way to bridge the browsing gap between the two -- allowing me to file things away to check out another time. There's already a solid iPhone app, but no official Google Chrome extension.

No matter -- Postponer is an awesome ReadItLater extension for Chrome.

Postponer is actually offered as two separate extensions: the Manager, which sits in your browser actions area and displays your queue from ReadItLater and the Adder, which resides in Chrome's Omnibar and lets you post new items to your list. Separate extensions means separate memory space in Chrome, but together the Postponer Adder and Manager only use about 15MB -- well worth the cost if you're a heavy ReadItLater user.

The Manager provides a quick drop-down view of your queue and also allows searching and sorting, and you can use the red check icon to verify that a site is still valid. You can also add an unread item count to the icon.

The Adder makes adding new items to your queue a breeze -- just click the icon in your Omnibar. If you happen to be perusing Google Reader, each item will get a Postponer icon next to its title (as in the header image) for easy submission.

Just add your tags and hit save, and your ReadItLater list is updated.

If you need a little assistance with your web content consumption in Google Chrome, Postponer is a must-have extension.
