This is the second post on a series of how I process information online, what tools i use, and what I think would be the perfect solution.
First, lets address the specific types of information I save:
- I save Links
- I save/archive the full or partial content of articles/posts/etc
- I save specific clips of content within a page
- I save certain clips of content along with remarks to be publish on my blog
- I save things to send to my phone via sms
- I save clips of content that I want to email to people
- I save multiple pieces of content around a specific topic or multiple clips pertaining to one topic
Any of these things I save, I always want the ability to choose whether it is private, public, or shared to a restricted group of users. AND I don’t want them to have to have an account on the same service in order to see this information I’m sharing.
Private – just for me
Public – for everyone
Restricted Group -just a list of users I choose.
Now, how do I currently save each of these information types:
- I save Links
- Delicious, Diigo, Gmail
- I save/archive the full or partial content of articles/posts/etc
- Diigo, Scrapbook, Notebook, Clipmarks
- I save specific clips of content within a page
- Google Notebook, Clipmarks, Diigo
- I save certain clips of content along with remarks to be publish on my blog
- Diigo, Clipmarks, WordPress
- Diigo, Clipmarks, WordPress
- I save things to send to my phone via sms
- “Send via SMS”, Google SMS
- I save clips of content that I want to email to people
- “Gmail This”, Diggo, Clipmarks, Google Notebook
- I save multiple pieces of content around a specific topic or multiple clips pertaining to one topic
- Google Notebook
- Google Notebook
As you can see, there is a relatively concise grouping of types of data, but the choices for where I can store this data are rather mind boggling. I would like to reduce that clutter, and in further posts will try to propose a solution.
