This just came up on twitter and I think some of you who are actually beeminding your Pocket queues have a better way to do this. Can you remind us what that is? Something about sending Beeminder a +1 when you add something and -1 when you read something?

When I beemind things like this, it’s usually not the absolute length of the queue which I mind, but the maximum age of any one item. If something has been sitting in my queue for more than a week, it needs to be read, or discarded. (I do similar things with my RTM inbox, when I actually have that software running…) On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 9:08 PM, Daniel Reeves [dreeves@beeminder.com](mailto:dreeves@beeminder.com) wrote: > This just came up on twitter and I think some of you who are actually > beeminding your Pocket queues have a better way to do this.

I agree that the staleness of posts matters most to me, but I would take as simple an integration as just the count of items. I just added to my use case (the tweet that prompted this thread) here on uservoice: > **[Integrate with Pocket](https://beeminder.uservoice.com/forums/3011-general/suggestions/4154357-integrate-with-pocket)** > > http://getpocket.com/ > > We should also integrate with Instapaper but I have the impression that Pocket is the new hotness. -Adam On Thursday, July 18, 2013 12:16:05 AM UTC-4, Paul Fenwick wrote: > When I beemind things like this, it’s usually not the absolute length > of the queue which I mind, but the maximum age of any one item.

Ahh, I did not realise that I could use ifttt pocketbee recipes to do both a +1 and -1, I was just doing a -1. , I have just set that up to send both a +1 and a -1 to the bot depending on whether an item was added or read and will see how it works.
