Internet site of the Week

This week's Internet Site of the Week brings you another tool to get your information organised and easily retrievable: www.memonic.com.

Memonic is a personal organiser to save and use just about any information worth keeping. Capturing content is as easy as copy and paste or sending an email. Saving web content from any page you visit is just one click away with the bookmarklet. Upload your documents or mail them into your collection.

''With Memonic you can keep your knowledge organised the way you want and you'll find it again in seconds.

''Your items are here to be used. Feel free to edit them with a rich text editor or pass them on to your friends or to the public.''

This last bit sets Memonic apart from others: you can share what you save in your Memonic account with others or with the public in general.

''Memonic allows you to move away from the model of bookmarking sites that contain data you want and instead of snipping that data out of the page and saving it to your Memonic account. If you're doing research on a vacation for instance, you wouldn't bookmark every page you found with interesting content about that vacation. You would use Memonic to clip out the bits that were of interest to you _ a specific restaurant review from a restaurant critic page, a landmark you found on the visitor's bureau site you want to visit, some photos of local street performers you'd like to keep an eye out for, and so on. All the things you clip end up in your Memonic inbox.

''From there you can sort and organise your clips, edit the associated information and share your clippings and organised portfolios with others. Memonic accounts are free and you can enter information into Memonic using a bookmarklet _ see the top screenshot, the green box is the clipping border _ or by emailing the information to your Memonic account or manually creating a new entry within Memonic. If you're curious to try out Memonic but hate signing up for new accounts, you can try out all the features of Memonic just by visiting the main page. If you like it, you can create a free account to save the clippings you made during your trial run.''

    You know, I've looked through this story four times and can't find a link to Memonic. Of course I can google for it easily, but I've noticed this the last few times this page recommended a site I wanted to visit. Just sayin'.
