Day Seventeen: scrible

scrible is a new tool that helps simplify Web-based research.  Users can bookmark sites, highlight and/or underline text, create sticky notes, and more right within the browser.  Users can also easily save, share, and collaborate with other users, making it an excellent tool for group research projects. 

scrible also provides a bookmarklet  that, when clicked, adds functionality to your browser. When the scrible Bookmarklet is clicked, it loads the scrible Toolbar atop the current webpage you're viewing so that you can start annotating.  

When you return to a site you bookmarked with scrible  it will appear just as you left it displaying all of the alterations you made.  Like most Web 2.0 tools, sharing your annotated bookmarks with others is a key feature that scrible provides.  Students are also able to get a free scrible account that has twice the storage capacity of the standard account.
