Finding information on the Internet isn t a problem, organizing it however is. Your browser bookmarks are great for commonly accessed sites but for doing things like research or serious information gathering they come up short. This has helped create a whole new category of programs that fit somewhere between offline browsers and an electronic file cabinet.
Serious research requires a serious tool.
Let me give you an example, this past semester I was working on a big paper for one of my marketing classes. The topic was on electronic commerce to I started by hitting all the big tech sites like ZDnet, C-net, and so on. After pouring over article upon article for several days I had amassed quite a large collection of links. Being the procrastinating chucklehead that I am, I figured I had finished the hard part and could now chill for a while until the due date got closer and I would have to write the sucker. Fast forward a couple of weeks.
