One thing I really like about this and other forums is the wealth of knowledge. For years, I have been looking for a way to keep track of all of the nuggets of useful information is an organized manner. Bookmarks are good for pages, but are a pain to organize and if a page is moved, you lose whatever was there.
About six months ago, I downloaded a freeware application called Evernote, and it has become my most used application. It works like an electronic file folder. You create 'notebooks' within it. Each of these can then hold basically an unlimited number of notes, each of which has a title, tags, whatever. A note can be a web page (with images), pdf file, or image file - basically any type of file. You can install it on several computers and/or smart phones and it will keep the data synchronized between them all. Some of the stuff I use it to store:
PDF manuals for most of my tools, Project ideas, Jigs and how to's, reference tables and more.
There is a free version and a 'Premium' version which has an annual fee. The difference between them is the amount of bandwidth available per month for synchronization and native support for a few more file types. There are no adds or banners or popups in either version. I used the free version for about 4 months and then paid for the premium as I was really loading quite a lot on it and didn't want to worry about bandwidth. It is available for all operating systems, iPhone, Palm Pre, and Driod smart phones. I have no affiliation with the company other than being a very happy user.
I hope someone finds this software to be as useful as I have.
