I haven't been thrilled with all the changes Facebook has made over the years, but adding a save function on the articles people are sharing is right up there with the best. It's exactly what it sounds like: A way to save a shared article for later, whether later means just reading or eventually sharing it yourself. And you can access everything you save on your main Facebook rail under the heading Saved.Reference: Thankful for social media: My favorite tools, platforms.
I appreciate this bit from Chicago Tribune writer Scott Kleinberg. I used to collect newspaper and magazine articles of interest diligently, and I would organize and store them in my study. I have continued to do so, except that in the last several years, I've migrated from hardcopy to softcopy. In fact I collect to a much greater degree now because of my conceptual and practical work, that is, links across any of my several journals. With particularly crucial articles, I copy and paste them for my personal reference and annotation. While not all posts on Facebook can be saved, I really like this function, because it helps me collect interesting articles and videos.
