Internet Research Software
Internet Research Software enables you to capture information you find while performing internet research. This information can then be organized in various ways included tagging and hierarchical trees. The goal is to collect information relevant to a specific research project in the one place, so that it can be found and accessed again quickly.
These tools also allow captured content to be edited and annotated and some allow the ability to export to other formats. Other features common to outliners include the ability to use full text search which aids in quickly locating information and filters enable you to drill down to see only information relevant to a specific query.
By capturing and keeping information you don't have to worry about web pages and whole sites disappearing or being inaccessible. Internet Research Software greatly enhances internet research by enabling you to build knowledge and reuse it. Some of the most popular available software includes Surfulater and WebResearch Professional for Windows, Evernote (multiple platforms), DEVONthink (MacOSX), Springpad and Diigo (web based) and Scrapbook, a Firefox extension.
