			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are some web based tools that might be quite valuable for handling the research process and material. Here I&#8217;ll list some that I&#8217;ve found. Please comment and tell us about the tools that you&#8217;ve found from the web, or have found especially helpful in your research process.</p>
<p><span id="more-732"></span>- Xmarks (<a href="http://www.xmarks.com/">www.xmarks.com</a>) is a tool that helps you keep your bookmarks in order on several computers, browser programs and platforms. This is done by installing the program (for Firefox, Safari and so on) and then saving your bookmarks in the Xmarks site and syncing them always when a browser opens up (automatically).</p>
<p>- Zotero (<a href="http://www.zotero.org/">www.zotero.org</a>) is a really powerful tool (only Firefox) to save and organize material from the web (with all the reference information) by clicking only a button. You can organize your material, index text, create notes and so on, and even save the material online (or at least some of it) to be accessible even on a public computer (i.e. in library). Very handy &#8211; check the introductive video on the page&#8230;</p>
<p>- Dropbox (<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/">www.dropbox.com</a>) is a great service that allows you to have 2 GB of online storage, which can be shared (and is synced) between multiple computers. No more memory sticks (or less at least). Only a webmail address needed to start the service.</p>
<p>- Wordle (<a href="http://www.wordle.net">www.wordle.net</a>) is more like a toy, in which one can copy paste text or an web site URL, and get a nice &#8220;word cloud&#8221;. But it seems like quite useful toy.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Please add your favorite web tools and comments about them after this post.</span></p>
