The text thing wouldn't work for me; what I'd really like is something that's a hybrid of thunderbird and netnewswire - something that I could use to manage everything at once.

The most efficient way I've found of doing this is to use plain text files, and stick the URLs of web pages or blog posts in there. If it's an email I just add a note to say what it's about and which folder it's in. It's not ideal but it works. The problem with this is that you still need to know what you'll be writing about in the future in order to make the text files, and even then, you can end up copying and pasting the same URL into multiple documents because it *might* be of use. Actually, then, it's not an efficient method at all :) I use Bloglines for RSS feeds but that doesn't really help. I can save stuff as clippings but not by categories as far as I can see. And I do need something that I can use both at home and work. I think the best solution would be just to make the internet a bit smaller :) I have the same problem.
