About

I'm Marco Arment. I make useful websites in New York.

I'm the lead developer of Tumblr, the publishing community that powers this site. The opinions I express here are my own and not those of my employer.

I created Instapaper for saving web pages to read later.

Give Me Something To Read: Interesting and popular articles from Instapaper.

Feedback:
I do not believe that public comments are beneficial here, but you can email me whenever you want: me@marco.org

Bill Israel made this theme, but then I hacked it, and I haven't tested it in IE.

brand
trend (as a verb, incl. “trending”)
invite (as a noun, thanks — “invitation” is permitted)
