Safari 5: Another Step Towards Better Reading On The Web | Arc90 Blog
-
The Reader feature in Safari 5 can change your whole web experience
-
I’m surprised Apple didn’t hype the Reader feature in Safari 5 a bit more. It’s almost a stealth function, and you might not even notice it is there. My colleague Dave Caolo touched on it in his Safari 5 overview, and I want to make sure everyone tries it. (If you’re a fan of the Readability bookmarklet, you’re probably going to like it — in fact, it’s built on the same code base.)

I found reading this way to be a terrific experience. Reader simplifies the web, getting rid of a lot of the annoying sidebars and extraneous content. It won’t work on a front page with lots of links to articles, but once you are in the article, it should re-render your page if you ask it to.Apple support boards are seeing a bit of traffic about Safari 5 compatibility, but the reader functions seems to be very solid. Give it a try and see if it doesn’t change your web experience. Reader works on both the Windows and Mac version of Safari. I’d love to get it on the iPad and the iPhone — but you can get a taste of it now on those devices by using the Instapaper Mobilizer to create Reader-esque pages from your favorite sites.

Burstly ★ Free App hits #1 and makes $20,000. What we learned (so far).
-
Air Horn is the name of the free app and was developed in less than 3 hours. Alex knows the app is gimmicky and is not going to stand the test of time. This is a good example of a random app catapulting through the app rankings for no particular reason and actually making the developer some money. Here’s what we learned:
- It took 188,310 daily downloads to reach #1 on Monday, 5/31.
- As of Monday, 6/7, it was still #1 with 129,286 daily downloads.
- Daily ad impressions on Air Horn increased from 160,000/day to more than 2,000,000/day at peak.
- As of 6/7, Air Horn served a total of 4 million 3rd party ad network impressions since 5/31.
- Over that same time, 4 million cross promotion impressions were served to promote Annoying Sounds.
- Annoying Sounds shot all the way to the #5 overall app.
- Before the cross-promotion, Annoying Sounds wasn’t even a top 1000 app.
- Daily ad impressions on Annoying Sounds jumped from 35,000/day to more than 1,000,000/day at peak.

e-Learning is education’s Big Thing at the moment. After all, it makes sense. If courses are put on line, students can study where and when they wish, tutors are freed from lecturing and classroom drudgery, and the institution can offer its courses to customers worldwide.
