The Answer Is Clearly

If you like to share news stories or other online articles with others via email you know that process can sometime be frustrating given the differences in how some articles are formatted. If you use the Chrome browser they have an add-on extension that solves the problem better than anything I’ve ever seen. Its called Clearly. If you want to see what Clearly can do just go to the Chrome online web store through your Chrome browser and look for Clearly under the Extension group. Once you get Clearly you just open the article you want to send and click on the Clearly icon it puts into your browser. There are also key strokes you can use for this if you like to do it that way. Then copy and paste the article into your email. I’ve really been impressed with how easy it is to use and how good it works. Hope your experience will be the same if you try it.

Clearly is made by the Evernote Corp. Evernote also permits you to save Clearly articles for reading later from any where you can log on. I didn’t sign up for that service because I figured all my use would probably be from my computer at home. While Clearly is free there may be a charge for an account with Evernote. But since I didn’t check into it I don’t know. Do that yourself if your want an online account with Evernote to post your articles.

I’ve read that Clearly is now available for the Firefox browser and can be downloaded at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearly/. Also, there is a similar product called Readability available for Internet Explorer at http://www.readability.com/. Please note that I don’t have any experience using these two products in these two browsers so be sure you have some local help if you need help with these products.
