Speed Reading

I found something awesome on the internet once again. Or that I believe to be neat.

Spreeder

Yes, it sounds odd, but you paste text in there from the internet and the words flash by real quick and times it all out. I tried an article from BBC and it only took me 2 minutes to read through, but I'm not sure how long it would have taken reading it the old fashioned way in huge chunks. They recommend that beginners do one word to four words at a time, and then move on to quick large chunks. Seems like a good idea if not much faster... considering I was already a quick reader. Put perhaps it increases absorbancy or something. Good to check out anyway.
