Tool & Utilities

Delicious - Great browser bookmarking tool that will allow you to store browser links centrally. By tagging, this tool has helped me better manage links based on relevant free-form categories that are most likely to make sense to me. In addition to this, it introduced me to the concept of "social bookmarking". There are plugins for many common browers. I have had no issues using this service with IE, Firefox, or Chrome.

Stumble Upon - This service allows the user to pick from a variety of categories. Once your profile is setup, a button that is added to your browser can be clicked to send you to a random page that is relevant based on your preliminary profile setup. Once you see the site you get sent to, you have the option of voting a "like" or "dislike" that should help refine future links.

Evernote - I have only recently started using this utility. The premise that interests me is the ability to take notes from just about any device (i.e., my laptop, desktop, or Android based phone). The classifications and organization capabilities on the site seem very flexible. I am looking forward to using this tool more day to day and have additional information to share.
