Well, I didn’t quite mean to suggest that I don’t see the point of using cloud services. It’s the existing solutions for referencing that I don’t find compelling enough to use. I agree it would be nice to have what dan7000 describes. As far as I can see Google Docs would be the closest service that could really do it all, if they wanted to get into the referencing market. If I could save journal paper PDFs directly into Google Docs and then have referencing integrated so I could read, annotate, outline, write and reference online, that would pretty much do it for me. Basically Google Docs merged with Citavi. Although I do like multiple windows and monitors, so having everything in a single browser window might be a limiting factor.
