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:

1. I save Links
2. I save/archive the full or partial content of articles/posts/etc
   
3. I save specific clips of content within a page
   
4. I save certain clips of content along with remarks to be publish on my blog
   
5. I save things to send to my phone via sms
6. I save clips of content that I want to email to people
7. 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:

1. I save Links
   • Delicious, Diigo, Gmail
2. I save/archive the full or partial content of articles/posts/etc
   • Diigo, Scrapbook, Notebook, Clipmarks
3. I save specific clips of content within a page
   • Google Notebook, Clipmarks, Diigo
4. I save certain clips of content along with remarks to be publish on my blog
   • Diigo, Clipmarks, Wordpress
     
5. I save things to send to my phone via sms
   • “Send via SMS”, Google SMS
6. I save clips of content that I want to email to people
   • “Gmail This”, Diggo, Clipmarks, Google Notebook
7. I save multiple pieces of content around a specific topic or multiple clips pertaining to one topic
   • 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.
