Hi everyone:
I'm looking for a good solution for clipping parts of internet pages. Ideally, I would like to: (a) have those clippings annotated (ie when clipped, and from what URL); and (b) store them locally on my computer as regular html files (so that I can browse easily without having to open the program, and so that they are catalogued by my desktop search program.
So far, I have been using NetSnippets under WinXP, which is was great program. Unfortunately, it's not updated any longer, and it's not available for Linux. Also, it doesn't integrate into Firefox too well (eg it doesn't use the sidebar).
I've looked at the ScrapBook extension for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427); it's very convenient and does annotate clippings, but unfortunately it uses its own format for storing / organizing the clippings.
Are the other, similar addons for Firefox out there that I haven't come across yet? Or can someone recommend a program that works well for clipping web snippets?
Cheers.
