I like Pocket. I think it's great and I enjoy the interesting articles it recommends to me. I never would have gone looking for something like it, so I'm glad M

  I have yet to find any site/service on the internet with more varied (in a good way) recommendations. Some of it is junk, but I find myself laughing at least once a week at some of the articles pocket recommends. Today's highlights: 1. What did Jesus wear? 2. What happens to your body when you walk 10,000 steps every single day 3. A 16-million-year-old tree tells a deep story of the passage of time My first reactions: I mean, what did Jesus wear? 16 million years seems way too long... I would never have looked up any of these things, and the odds of me stumbling upon them on Reddit, Facebook, etc. feels extremely low. The sort of stuff Pocket recommends just feels so different to the things other sites recommend to me. I've been a long-time fan of Pocket (even before it was added to FF), so there is some bias, but every time I open a new tab in FF and navigate to some site, there's that split-second of loading where I glimpse these titles, and very often I find myself clicking the back button to do a double-take. Pocket is good. I like it. To each his own.
