.....I've just found out about what seems like the best gift any student or researcher could possibly receive (other than love and straight A plusses), and it doesn't cost the user one ugly penny. This extension's reach extends much farther than anything I've heard of before.
I'm in the middle of applying to an absurd amount of graduate programs, so this is a very timely discovery. I have insane amounts of information to organize and store (essays, websites, deadlines, addresses: you name it), so this magic lamp looks like the one I want to rub. I'll be taking Zotero for a test drive, and when my applications are finished, I'll let you know how it measured up to my gargantuan expectations. If you'd like to explore it yourself, here's some relevant data:
"Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources. It lives right where you do your work — in the web browser itself."

Storage of PDFs, files, images, links, and whole web pages
Flexible notetaking with autosave
Fast, as-you-type search through your materials
