I keep trying different things to read more effectively and more efficiently on internet. My Google Reader is filled with 1000s of feeds everyday. I keep adding new subscriptions and delete few of them regularly.
Most of them are skippable after the headlines. Many of them run in few paragraphs. Few of them are as big as 10 pages.
I have found a way to read effectively on internet.
These are the steps:
1. Download Mozilla Firefox, if you still do not have one (The only use of internet explorer is to download Firefox and/or Chrome). www.mozilla.com/firefox
2. There are two bookmarkets which remove all the clutters from the web page you want to read. They are 'tidy read', and 'readability". Few of the webpages open better in 'tidyread', and a few in 'readability'.
Tidy read: www.tidyread.com
Readability: http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/
3. Now add the 3rd bookmarklet, called 'autoscroll'. http://marklets.com/Autoscroll.aspx
Thats it.
Open the page you want to read in Firefox. To remove all the clutter, click on 'tidy read' or 'readability' bookmarklet. When the web page opens with one of them, click on 'autoscroll'. Selelct your speed of reading (1 to 9). Sit back and enjoy!!

That's a real find Keshav. I quiet like the readability bookmarklet very much. I tried it to read a few my regular websites and it looks really good. It also works on Chrome which a real plus.
Works on Chrome too? I got to check it out!!!
It is a wonderful extension. i have been using for few weeks.Readability works in chrome too. it is called readability redux. the new version of safari has similar feature called reader which appears on the address bar.
