What I'm curious about is - what do all these alternatives mean for Spritz themselves? They raised a ton of money, released a demo, and now it's been cloned before they even launch. Is all this publicity/cloning good for them, or does it mean their product is DOA?

Wow - this is awesome. I used to use Spreeder (http://spreeder.com/app.php?intro=1) a bit but this takes it to a new level.

@TMFelous bookmarklets do not play well with favicons as I've ran into the issue building my own. Do you have an example of a bookmarklet that does have a favicon?

So how is retention on something like that? I know I'm not the fastest reader, but I aim for retention; I underline, annotate and pause to contemplate things I read. It seems like speed apps like that could lead to an "in one ear and out the other" kind of flow. Yeah, you read the words, but are you putting them together? Anyone tried the apps to see if they feel they retain the same amount? cc @mattellsworth

@evanish I get you. Most business books I find need less then what you're talking about for total retention. That being said more technical texts need to be approached how you're describing. I plan to just practice daily with the Velocity App, and see how good my retention becomes over time. I think you have to work yourself into it.

I was just going to post this @jongold! Just tested this out and while it's not all that effective at picking out the relevant text on a given webpage to read, it works well when used with google reader or an app like pocket. Wonder how long it'll take for all the reader apps to add their own version of this.
