Bookmarks and del.icio.us are great, but sometimes when you're collecting information from the web you need more, and
ScrapBook provides a lot more. ScrapBook is an extension for Firefox for collecting and organizing web pages and snippets of web pages. The stuff you save is stored in a hierarchy just like your bookmarks, but a local copy is saved and you can highlight passages and even do basic editing of the content, remove unwanted elements, and add comments. It can also "capture" files linked to from a page you save, download entire hierarchies and create site maps of them, and you can also do a full-text or basic filtering search of the contentyou saved. Perfect for research projects.

Love Scrapbook. I use Vice Versa Proto copy the Scrapbook folder to my Pocket PC memory card. I just capture anything I need to keep up with and read it on the train. Now if only I could find a decent text editor for the Pocket PC... It's a great little plugin.

Great extension! Until now I've been saving interesting web pages as .pdf files. It was a cumbersome procedure because Adobe Acrobat isn't integrated into Firefox like it is in Internet Explorer Until an extension comes along that that integrates Adobe Acrobat and Firefox this is the next best thing.
