Tools

I’ve been reading a lot of papers and still do. While reading tons of stuff, the most difficult thing in my experience was and will be, to get hold of the huge amount of information, notes, papers and links. I decided to be better prepared and willing to get help by a tool this time.So I started to look around and poking some websites offering different tools.  Tools of different flavors came along my search, like note-taking tools, citation tools and personal knowledge management. I want to present some tools I found very interesting and that I use now.
