Ask HN: Keeping track of stuff on the net

What tool(s) do you use to keep track of stuff you find on the net? I'm talking about something more complex than a bookmarking service.

Comments

Careful tagging on Delicious, combined with a personal Wiki/notepad web app that pulls in links, photos, etc, based on the wiki page/tag.

i didn't find a good tool that record my online stuff, delicious, su and digg are mostly commercial and don't help do that.

I use emails by sending and featuring a note, but it depends in the situation, sometimes i save in delicious, sometimes in my browser and sometimes in a txt file

Surely this is what the blog was invented for? (In it's original form: the web log.)

you can wedge everything into a db or file/directory tree so you can hit with Google desktop, or SOLR, or sphinxsearch if you need control doc granularity, tokenization, stemming

Firefox extension "Scrapbook".

define stuff.

links, notes on articles you find, basically anything you'd want to save from the web to reference later

There was just a thread about this a day or two ago. snipd.com and snipt.net were the suggestions.

What if you want something completely web based. I usually work on multiple computers, e.g., computer labs.

Those two are completely web-based, as far as I know.

I'm not a fan of either. I guess what I'm looking for is something like delicious but more multi-purpose.

evernote?
