So you never lose the content you want or the context of the page. O yeah! And it's such a clever, simple design that I keeping finding new uses for it. I can use it for academic research, or to save my favourite web content, or to manage my everyday searching online. I also really love being able to use iCyte for collaborative research - so many new possibilities.

With an elephant as their logo they propose to help you "Never forget anything". For websites, they have a "web-clipper" addon for most browsers that pushes either an area or the entire page. But that's just the beginning. Their desktop clients for Mac & Windows are flawless and works offline. The web-app is equally great. Organize the clips or "notes" in "notebooks" and by tags. Import photos, documents or PDFs. Add or view notes on the road from their mobile apps for iPhone & Blackberry. But here's the killer part... OCR and full searchability of text, even in photographs. Evernote.com for a free account. It's my favorite app! For me it’s Evernote to the rescue! With an elephant as their logo they propose to help you “Never forget anything”.

Especially for academic researchers, this is the best tool I've found to grab bibliographic information, take snapshots of web pages, create items from web pages, attach notes and PDFs and more. It also integrates with OpenOffice and MS Word. It is a Firefox extension, and like icyte, lives in your browser. The developers are great and very responsive to the needs of the community. Group libraries and group file syncing have just been implemented. I wrote my thesis with Zotero and can't say enough good things about it. Zotero.org Best, Lisa Zotero, Zotero, Zotero.
