I'm a trendalicious junkie.

Every day, I check out trendalicious, Digg, and populicious for the latest hot sites on the web.

I'm constantly storing and referring to links for:
 software I use
 tutorials & documentation
 blogs & sites of people I know and follow
 new technologies
 google searches to follow over time
 online subscriptions
 communities and groups I'm involved with
 to-read items
 good writing, articles
 web-utilities
 
I've got a folder structure that reflects my daily workload:
 \Projects\ - everything that's rolling & not related to work
 \Ideas\ - With any luck, these items get moved into Projects
 \Work\ - Notes, contact info, project info regarding work projects
 \Learn\ - Technologies/techniques I intend to learn in the near-future
 \Personal\ - Good writing, self-improvement, humor, etc
 \Design\ - Fonts, Stock Photos & sites, prototypes
 \Favorites\ - hierarchy of favorite websites
 \Patterns Practices Procedures\ - Best practices, snippets by technology & language
 \Software\ - Flash-drive software, apps & links to apps to run from anywhere
 \Software\Development\ - Sorceforge projects or dev-related apps
 
Adding new items is as easy as dragging the url icon from your browser's Address bar into the appropriate folder on the flash-drive.

Whenever I find an app or sourceforge project that I want to make note of, I make a folder for it and grab the shortcut.

If I discover a good Google query I want to follow over time, I drop that url onto the drive:
 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=darwin+vii&btnG=Google+Search
 
Finally, I have a small vbs script I wrote years ago that iterates over the drive and creates a dump file that reflects the directory structure & all .url files.
