Great video! Lors of insights that could be useful for students.

This is the situation I'm currently facing which led me to tag/bookmark/capture the very same article I'm commenting right now. As soon as I started thinking about keeping tracks of remarkable things online I knew it would be painful to maintain such catalog whatever tools I would have chosen (new tools with with more functionalities and increased convenience come up every year).
Anyway, (IMHO) the most important thing is to start building your knowledge base on a robust/flexible architecture. E.g. Folders+Tags (define your Taxonomy, don't rely solely on a folksonomy you won't be able to maintain).

One last thing : did you know about http://www.zotero.org/ ?

I've been resisting Zotero because I'm not sure how many new tools I can handle.

Also resisting Evernote for the same reason. And Quora. But when I finish this book, I'll start expanding again.
