A fact from Pocket (service) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 December 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the application Read It Later obtained venture capital investments totaling $2.5 million in 2011?
This edit seems incomplete (no citations, just hearsay), more like personal opinion just to be taken for granted rather than being accompanied by links to, say, a forum thread where I can check up on this myself. I don't edit wikipedia usually so I am averse to just reverting an edit, and also not sure of my capabilities to present this in a better way, even though I think it's a valid criticism to be left in (if presented more acceptably). 95.91.232.69 (talk) 00:03, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Offline cloud?
The "Functions" section currently starts with two sentences that seem contradictory. The first one states that the application "allows the user to save an article or web page to the cloud for later reading" and the second one states that the article "is then sent to the user's Pocket list [...] for offline reading". If it can really be read offline, then the whole article would have to be sent to the user’s device(s) in advance, in which case the use of the expressions "list" and "cloud" would be unjustified. If, on the other hand, articles are initially stored only in the cloud (which seems more plausible), then the act of retrieving them from there should surely not be described as an "offline" activity. 66.130.248.96 (talk) 23:28, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
