Read it Later
I see a number of methods of keeping track of papers and web-pages. For papers, I see people creating folders, downloading the pdf files and trying to come up with some sort of reasonable naming system. For web-pages, I see most using bookmarks in their browsers which usually becomes unruly despite creating sub-folders.
I enjoy having access to information from any computer, which is impossible using the above methods. A number of alternatives exist such as using Delicious, FriendFeed, DropBox? or CiteUlike. (drop a comment if you have another favorite)
I like simple tools: Instapaper.
The tool is free, signup is easy and so is use (drag the Read it Later icon to your bookmarks menu).
Note: Instapaper isn’t compatible with all journals, but will direct you to the original article if it unable to load it.
All this talking about papers and websites, what are you reading these days?
