Diigo

I went snooping around for some Firefox extension that allowed me to highlight text on a page (you know, like I've actually taken a real highlighter to my screen). I've been doing a lot of research (and should be doing some now), while I normally like to print pages (and this will sound incredibly lazy), I didn't want to walk the 5 steps to my desk to plug in the printer and print some articles. I know that Scrapbook does some stuff like that, but I tend to use Scrapbook for other things. Scrapbook is wonderful but it saves files to your computer, I wanted something more web based. That's when I came across Diigo...wow what an awesome extension! I can highlight text and it will automatically save it on their servers so I can access my work anywhere online. You can also add comments to your highlights and those items will be available each time you visit the page. I know there's a lot of similar tools out there but I absolutely love Diigo. If you do a lot of web research I think this one is a must have.
