Actually I love using lots of different technology to help me in my research, especially since my ethnography work last year was mostly cyberethnography. Personally, I've taken to using del.icio.us, Diigo, and Scrapbook (I love this one), extensions for Firefox, 30 Boxes, NetVibes, and Google docs and spreadsheets (helpful because I don't own a copy of Word but it's on every one of the computers at uni), Google Notebook, and iGoogle (personalised google page).

Another somewhat similar service is Diigo, which also has plug-ins for the major browsers that allow you to highlight content in a page (in Diigo's case it becomes yellow) and tag it with keywords. You can also add what amounts to a sticky note with comments, and then save it to Diigo's servers, where it is shared with other users. You can then go back to your account and see not just your own comments or highlighted sections from a site, but also the highlights and comments from any other Diigo user who also saved the page.

But what if saving a link isn't enough? Sometimes when you're researching a particular subject, you might want to keep more than just a link and a paragraph of text from a particular page.
