It's easier than you think!

Standing in line. Lying in bed. Eating soup alone. Times when you’re bored. The Vertical Files is designed for those times. It’s a collection of the most interesting links of the moment.

But why is it different? Can’t anyone just collect and share links?

Not every website is optimized for mobile. Sometimes clicking on a link on your device can be frustrating or disappointing because you can’t see the video, slideshow, pictures or other “bells & whistles”.

The Vertical Files works great on a computer, but is designed with mobile in mind. The links you’ll find here have been looked at on my own phone. If the site I’ve checked out doesn’t work on my phone or is difficult to navigate, I don’t share it.

You can be sure when you click on a link here that it’ll work on your phone, or your money back.

There are only ten links per page and no unnecessary graphics, so the site should load quickly. There's a link to previous posts at the bottom of each page. Check out the Categories list to explore even more.

Bookmark The Vertical Files on your mobile device, and check back often. You’ll never know what you might find here next!
