Give Me Something To Read - Best of 2010

I absolutely love <i>Give Me Something To Read</i> and <i>Longform.org</i>! There are a lot of great articles that didn't make it to this list, so check out the archives on both websites — the articles are (mostly) timeless.<p>Instapaper and GMSTR/Longform.org are streets ahead of casual games like Angry Birds for my commute.

Am I correct in thinking that this is a spin-off from instapaper.com (they take popular saved pages from instapaper to create the content for gmstr.com )? I cann't recommend Instapaper highly enough as a tool for saving web-articles and sending them to my Kindle for off-line reading.

Is there something similar for german sites?

Excellent selection of quality articles.
