I myself don't focus so much about keeping and organizing things that I read, I check here in hacker news about two three times a day and had developed a habit of reading only things that really really interests me (I became addicted to HN at first). One more thing is that I don't need to really know every detail about what I have read, I only need to know that such technology/technique/etc. exits, when I need it or think that it might help, I look it up in the internet, google will probably finds it if it was useful to some people by the time I need it.
I use often use books to gain moderate knowledge about a topic and try to make a product or use what I have learned in work, I think a good knowledge gaining strategy consists of a short term topic buffer (like hacker news) and a log term one like reading books and doing weekend projects.
