Information is everywhere. To make the most of it you need to find the best sources and you need to know how to process and select which information to achieve and finally how to do it.
Computers are the wonders of the world today. They process huge amounts of data at the speed of light and they ask nothing in return except electricity.
Let’s start with where you can find information. The first thing that will come to your mind is Google. I have nothing against Google, but this time we will see some other ways. There is one very good search engine called Ask. It’s smaller than Google yet powerful and effective, you can even ask it questions, and it will give you some accurate answers for most. This small engine also has a related searches place where you can with just one click change or enhance the current query. If you are tired of Google and Bing, this is the place to go next.
Information you collect can either be left in the place where you found it or it can be sent to a place where you will be able to get it back in the future.
There are many ways to do it. I talked about Gmail (which is still the best) but in this article we will see another way. Install a Firefox add on called Scrapbook. This add on will enable you to download any webpage or even the entire site you are in. When you see a site you like just click the Scrap button and wait for it. The page will be saved in your hard disk and then you can do whatever you want to do with that content. Put all the downloaded content in one single folder, then create a virtual search results folder only to search that content folder. When you want to find any document, result, image, you will just need to go to that folder that only searches the downloaded content, making search faster.
With the new SSD hard disk and the powerful SSD Raid 0, storing information offline is becoming a better option today. If you like to keep everything within physical reach, then this option might be for you.
