How do you keep track of the havoc of your online life? How do you quickly save an article for later reading? How do you make a note of a recipe or instructional to refer to later on a different computer? We've been through this topic several times before, and discussed many ways of storing notes, documents and organising emails online. But personally, I find Evernote to be the most complete package. And since we haven't published a review of its desktop client yet, here it is.

It's easy to understand why there are tons of online and software notebooks out there to choose from: mainly because there is so much information to manage, bookmark, and share in our online and mobile file cabinets. Clearly Evernote serves this purpose as a cross-platform notebook. It is supported by hundreds of other Internet services, mobile apps, and tools. But no matter how many times I've started using Evernote, I've never been totally happy with it. For me, it lacks the visual orientation that I find appealing in Pinterest, and now Springpad.

There are no shortage of web clipping applications, including Evernote, Zoho Notebook, and the read-it later apps, like Instapaper. But the newest solution, Memonic, might well be the all-in-one solution for capturing web content and sharing it between mobile devices, social networks, and your personal online account.

Some people choose to bookmark all the pages that they find temporarily useful for whatever project they may be working on, while others go through the long, common processes. Going to the page in Firefox, copying it, opening Word, pasting the content into Word, and then saving it. You can shortcut this process by using Notesaver, a Firefox add-on.

I did my first newspaper clipping back in my elementary school years. I don't remember what the topic was, but I remember that it was a great way to focus on a story out of everything else that filled the newspapers in those days. It was like arranging pieces of a puzzle to form a complete image. Now with the Internet at our disposal, we are constantly bombarded by stories and news from all over the world.

While you may be used to sharing websites without much as a blink, annotating these web pages with useful comments may be more efficient for future reference and better bookmarking. There are fully-featured bookmark-managing tools, such as my favorite, Diigo, which has evolved into an information management tool for individuals and groups. Although Diigo is [...]

I’ve never been much of a “notes” type. Every time I try out a new notes management system, I usually give up using it within just a few weeks. I found Mark’s article on Evernote’s integration with Android pretty compelling, so I had to give it a shot for a short time. We’ve also covered [...]

There’s no shortage of web-based applications to create notes, make lists, set reminders, and share things with our friends and contacts. Springpadit is the latest web notebook and social networking service that is much like Evernote, a web notebook or junk box to store stuff quickly, via the web and mobile devices, e.g. the iPhone and [...]

Perish the thought. Why would you ditch Evernote? The one de facto tool that can take care of capturing, annotating, tagging, and organizing all the information that’s out there. If I am sounding too gung ho about this software, I am definitely not alone. Evernote has lots of uses to crow about. But then the [...]

Back in the 1960s Dr. Spencer Silver, a scientist at 3M, accidentally developed a weak adhesive instead of a super glue. Rather than writing it off as a failure, he promoted his invention as  a “low-tack, reusable pressure sensitive adhesive.” Several years later, Art Fry, a colleague of Dr. Silver, used the weak adhesive to [...]

But for those working on and seeking feedback on visual media projects, The Commentor might be a useful online collaboration tool.

Do you have a job? Or maybe you are a student. Either way you are both sitting through some sort of lecture. It may be a meeting or a class and you need to take notes in an easy to input, easy to understand manner. When I was in school (yeah you young whippersnappers I [...]

If I have one really big weakness, it’s that I have an absolutely terrible memory due to my epilepsy.  So if I need to remember anything at all, I have to write it down or record it somewhere.  If I don’t, I am guaranteed to forget within minutes. I used to be a huge fan [...]

At some point, many of us will have to do some research, trawl through dozens of websites or like me; write an article. Have you ever found yourself with about fifteen tabs opened in your browser; all of which containing snippets of information that you hope to compile into something useful? Just keeping track of [...]

The more I pay attention to it, the more I realize that one of the most useful things to have on the Web is a central place for your stuff. We’ve all got favorite web pages, notes we need to take, things we need to do, pictures we download, and so on and so forth. [...]
