I must be honest, this is the first 'Thing' that I know very little about. I am not the best at organising personal information, which may sound surprising to some since I am an information professional. Personal Information Management (PIM) seems like something that could really benefit my life. However, to me PIM means more information for me to organise or indeed, reorganise!
I don’t think I will use any of the tools tried for this task. We must think about convenience along with privacy, if I don’t find the tools convenient, I am not going to use them. Pocket has been around for over 10 years, and I’ll put my hand up and say I have never heard of it, until now. I downloaded the app and gave it a go… but no I wasn’t sold. Yes, I can see the obvious advantages, namely if you’re Wi-Fi keeps dropping, but all I see is another ‘thing’ for me to organise! Evernote is on my iPhone and iPad… I have ignored it on both devices for years… who knew it could organise my life! Well it might do if I give it chance but alas, no, I am not sold on this one either, or Feedly, for that matter. I think I’ll stick to what I know on this occasion, which is not like me. I tend to try new technologies with enthusiasm, perhaps if I spend some time with Evernote I may be more passionate. It seems I am in minority on this one, considering the amount of RSS reader services available.

I actually think you may represent the consensus view on this one! I'd say there have been more people that have figured that these tools would actually add more complication to their lives than the opposite! And that's grand -- thinking critically no doubt often winds up with the conclusion of 'thanks -- but no thanks!'.
