Pocket is a read-it-later service and it recently launched a slew of new updates including the option to make an organized list of saved articles, websites, and videos. Notably, the Pocket Lists are only available in the United States on the web currently but the feature will broaden this to a global scale beginning next month and reaching mobile later this year.
Users will be able to create various lists with titles and the option to add descriptions as well. Overtime, users can add multiple items to a list at once and be able to attach notes to reference why each is there. To make this more social, Pocket will also allow users to publish these lists and share them with other users later this year.
