2.2 Alternatives to Evernote for Web Note Taking
Subscriber Colin Stevens wrote in to tell me about Zotero [1], a free FireFox extension that allows you to easily gather and organize web-based and offline research. It uses a different approach than the class leading product Evernote [2], which makes it better suited to school or academic research, though perhaps less appealing to casual users. If you’re in the latter group, you might like to check out another note-gathering solution called Eluma [2] that was suggested by Leib Moscovitz. It combines a browser extension with a desktop application to provide seamless integration of all your data sources in a way reminiscent of the now-defunct but much-lamented Onfolio. Well, Onfolio isn’t really defunct, but it’s now owned by Microsoft and offered as an add-in for Window Live Toolbar [4]. For Firefox users like me, that’s more or less the same thing as defunct :>)
