DevonThink is one of the tools that helps me do that efficiently. This quick video showcases just 5% of what I use DevonThink for and focuses specifically capturing data from web pages and various RSS feeds, such as Delicious Bookmarks, Twitter, and ReadItLater.

It offers a host of productivity boosts. To name a few:

  1. Named tabs
  2. Favorite location bookmarks
  3. Window, font, and background colors per-bookmark
  4. Transparency levels and blur of the underlying windows
  5. Middle click copy and paste
  6. URL launching from any URL recognized text

I’ve put together a quick screencast to show off a number of these features and how to configure them.
