I swear, I'm getting ADHD in my old age. I find it increasingly harder to concentrate on things. Which accounts for my usually having open about 20-gajillion tabs on my browser all the time. Because, I *am* going to read that article/story/research item one of these days when I can focus for more than 2 seconds. But, as I'm sure most of you can attest, all these open tabs leads to a straggling internet. But, thanks to a heads-up from the ever-knowledgeable
jamietr , I've started using Evernote.
Basically, it installs and you can keep and organize notes, which make it a great research tool. But what I love best is the web clipper application, which is a separate download. Now when I have a page I want to read later, all I have to do is click on the little elephant icon in the corner of my browser, and Evernote copies the whole page for me (or if you highlight sections in the page, it just clips the sections instead of the whole page) to read later. I can add tags, and organize the notes. It's a quick way to clip pictures from the web, too. I believe you can sync your notes through your iphones and ipads and other such devices, should you have any.
