Today I happened upon a radio talk show  about technology that was very informative.  The host of the show is Kim Komando and she also has a website.   She was talking about the wealth of information on the web and the lack of time at a particular moment to read everything that you would like or need to read.  She suggested several FREE programs that help you organize  webpages in order for you to keep up with them and read  at a later time.

Thumbtack – This program lets you organize snippets of sites in one place.  It is visual in that you can organize them like notes on a bulletin board.

Read It Later –  This program lets your quickly tag interesting reads.  You can come back to them at the touch of a button. 

Diigo – Books are often more versatile than Web pages.  In a book you can highlight important passages.  You can write notes in the margins.  This program lets you do these thing to Web site. Plus, you can share your highlighted and annotated pages with others.

Evernote – This is a great, cross-platform note-taking service.  Turn photos, audio and text into helpful reminders.  You can also turn portions of Web pages into reminders.  The Web clipper program makes this simple.  You can grab a portion of a page or the whole thing.
