Evernote, our favourite free non-paper note-taking app, just made it easier to stash entire web pages in your extended cloud brain. The Web Clipper too now includes a checkbox for “Clip full page,” and it remembers if you like to do that sort of thing on your next click. Evernote also responds to users who get a bit tired of typing in their credentials every few days, extending the Web Clipper’s cookie memory to a week (assuming you don’t wipe out your cookies sooner). How does Evernote’s bookmarklet play into your note-taking system? Evernote
Web-based application SnapBits functions as a web locker for your data. You can add text via the website or by emailing it to the unique email address for your account. Your text entries can be searched and filtered by the tags you assign. There is a small but convenient feature where you can tag a note as “classified” which simply makes the note appear masked when it appears in searches through your tags or browsing your list of entries. Clicking on it will reveal it, but if someone were looking at your screen at say an internet cafe, it would be masked until you wanted to read it. If you need a service that allows you to clip more than just text, check out Snipd. SnapBits [via MakeUseOf]
Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox): Free search and research add-on Juice seems to be aimed directly at web browsers who are easily distracted by following links, viewing web videos, and other hey-look-here devices. The Firefox add-on creates a pop-out sidebar, and whenever you select and drag text, pictures, or videos every so slightly, Juice adds those items to its tracking list, then runs them through what the developers call an “intelligent discovery engine,” searching Google, blogs, Wikipedia, or other sources, depending on what you grabbed, and showing them in the sidebar. Unlike other web clipping tools like Snipd or Google Notebook, Juice only stores your items in that particular Firefox browser, and there’s no option (yet) to move the results pane off the right side. Still, for those looking to do some run-and-gun reading, Juice might just fit the bill. Juice is a free beta download, works wherever Firefox 3 does. Check out a video demonstration of Juice’s deeper features below.
