I've tried going on information fasts, as it were, and tried not to keep every scrap of data that might possibly come in handy someday. These initiatives fall apart. I'm sort of compulsively moved to save these things (and then have the burden of carrying them with me wherever I go). I once had a big datafile full of snippets and procedures and things I'd saved for years. When I moved to a new computer, I exported that file to text and kept it around, just in case. I wound up never needing any of that information I saved. So your process is probably saner :) Hey Rani — you probably don’t fully understand my process because I don’t have one :) It’s all instinct.

Can't say I fully understand your process but I gleaned a couple of good ideas from it -- especially the use of readibility. I also heavily use Delicious and trying to get Peter to do the same to speed up his browser. What I find most fascinating is how you choose to parse information. My approach to most blog posts is what 1-2 things can I glean from it that I can use immediately? IMHO, there is very little worth keeping -- if there is, it goes in Delicous. If it's exceptionally good, I create a PDF, save on harddrive and search from there. Not perfect, but works for now. thanks. i might actually bookmark this post :) cheers. Good post Mike.
