toread
is a web service that allows you to “bookmark” or email yourself web pages with the single click of browser bookmarklet.
Of course, Safari users can do this manually by pressing Command-I, which sends the contents of a web page to a new Mail.app message, filling in their own email address and then sending the email.
This is much quicker and cleaner.
After registration, you are offered a bookmarklet to drag and drop into the Bookmarks Bar of your browser (I use Safari):

One click on this bookmarklet and the page you are looking at is emailed to your inbox:

There’s nothing else to do.
This may appeal especially to people who use Mail.app as an Information mananger, allowing for the quick and painless archiving of web pages.
The privacy policy
of the service, which is run by the Japanese RSS management company Sidefeed looks OK to me:
About disclosing your personal information
We will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to any other third party.
We will disclose your personal information to outside third parties only when one or any of the following conditions are met.When we have your consent to share the information.
To process and fulfill your order or notify you of order status.

When it’s based on the statistical purposes without any information that could be used to link that information to you.

It is a clearly a Web 2.0 service, as it is in beta.

This is great. Much better than delicious for remembering to go back and read a page once you get home.
