iPhone or web access (only necessary to access my reading material at work).Preview a web archive or PDF within the application.Add a URL or web clipping with only one mouse click (or an easy keyboard shortcut).They need to be kept well organised – I have an annual appraisal where I have to present evidence of what I have read with comments that I may have added. I read a number of online journals and websites and need to record and archive anything I have read – a mixture of web archives, bookmarks and PDFs. I need to keep track of reading material I use for work.I want to be able to save web archives, with a link to the original page and have the ability to add my own comments.

I could have bookmarked each page (or kept multiple tabs open) but I would have ended up with a large number of pages, flipping back and forth all the time.

The type of things I could write in a notebook but could more quickly add to the computer if I’m already sitting here. I want to be able to store little snippets of text, such as a reference number for something I just bought online.These applications are enormously versatile with as many uses as there are users. Little bits of text, web page archives, snippets from a web page, photos, PDFs, all sorts. What exactly is an information organiser?
