Web research tool [modified]
-
Hey folks, I'm looking for a decent web research tool. Something that will allow bookmarking, cut and pasting text/pics, tagging/categorizing entries and searching. A ToDo list or some kind of brainstorming utility would be a great addition too. Free would be best of course, but I'm not opposed to buying something either. I seem to remember a CPian developing something like this a few years back, but can't remember who or what it was called. Anyone have any suggestions? As a side question: Does anyone know if there is something that could limit a google search based on my delicious book marks? [edit] I know you can search everyone's links, I'm wondering more about limiting to my bookmarks and searching through actual text as opposed to just tags, titles and descriptions. Thanks.

Have you tried the TODO list on CP (most popular article)? Regards, --Perspx

I have used ToDo frequently from time to time(still do actually), and it's great for tracking tasks. However, I'm looking more for something to help me track research online. A way to aggregate info from multiple sources while keeping links back to the original and allowing me to keep notes associated with those snippets. Something along the lines of Net Snippet[^]. Which seems like a decent solution so far, except they've stopped development.

web tool : Google Notebook is an option for you to consider. It does most but not everything you want.
I'll check that out. Thanks.

I seem to recall others mentioning Surfulator[^] by CP'er Neville Franks. Maybe that's what you're looking for? Cheers, Drew.
That's the one! :) Thanks!
