Useful Website
 MyStickies
Save notes on your favorite Web sites with MyStickies, a Post-It note system you can use online: "To put it simply, MyStickies allows you to place little yellow squares of digital paper anywhere and everywhere you feel like in the whole wide web...While bookmarks store the title of a webpage and its link, they do little to help you find what was important about the page and why exactly you chose to mark it. MyStickies solves this problem by giving you the power to mark up the page the way you like, and a tool to find notes easily and efficiently." I use MyStickies to help me organize research notes and other information that I need to keep track of.
