zotero.org

A free but powerful tool to organize your research projects, notes, blogs, pictures, etc.
Good for reseachers, students, and teachers.
A unique feature is that zotero does not organize files in the traditional folder/subfolder hierarchical structure. It allows a file to appear in multiple libraries without physically duplicating the file multiple times.
You can highlight sentences as you can do in MS OneNote.
Highly integrated with online browsing and journal sites.
Current version is zotero 1.0
