TagFacts
TagFacts (http://tagfacts.com/) is a note service offered by the creater of Reader2, a social book list service. TagFacts allows you note down, well, pretty much anything, and tag it with keywords. You can also include links, so you can use it as a bookmarking site for web pages, as well as for notes from lectures, books, interviews, conversations, random thoughts, etc.
TagFacts is social, and therefore useful for collaboration, because users can read each others’ notes and comment on them. Here is my account: http://tagfacts.com/rhedreen. You can click on an individual tag on the left to see just those notes associated with that keyword. (If you’re really thrilled, you are welcome to subscribe to the RSS feed.)
To use as a link saver/bookmarking service, you would need to have two windows/tabs of your web browser open, one for the site you are taking notes about and one for TagFacts. Unlike many bookmarking services, there is no handy bookmarklet available. (It’s in the works, but it’s not really surprising, since this has a much greater range of uses than just webpages.)
I suspect that it will be most useful for projects that involve both on and off line resources. You can collect all your notes in one “place” (one tag per project, for instance), even if the note is just a link to something else. I would suggest putting full citations in the note for any resource you intend to use, however. Tracking an article or book when you have an incomplete citation is a pain. (Hmm, I’m not sure if it was a book or an article, I didn’t put the author, and the title is, uh oh, “Education”!)
