In recent weeks, my discovery of ClipMarks has completely changed how I read online. ClipMarks is a free service that lets you save, tag, and archive particular quotes of articles. It's creating, for me, a categorized, easily searchable catalogue of not only the pieces that seem interesting, but the most salient, useable facts within them. For the first time, I'm actually preferring to read magazine articles online, because this adds so much value to the process, and makes the information so much more useable than were I to encounter it in a physical magazine.
So this post has two purposes. First, if you're not using ClipMarks, you should be. Second, I'm curious if there's any sort of offline, quote-capturing program for the mac. I end up reading a lot of pdfs, and I'd love to be able to save quotes and tag them and categorize them and all the rest. Anyone know of an application that does that?
Update: While I'm asking these sorts of questions, is there a screen capture program for the Mac that can photograph selection in JPG format? The computer's built-in "Grab" utility would be great, but it captures everything in TIFF format and forces me to convert through Preview.
