Grokker

Searching the Web can be a very unsatisfying experience if you are really wanting to do something long term with what you've found. One tool that attempts to help with this problem is Grokker - as in "to grok" from Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.

This seems helpful, but by no means any sort of real answer. Grokker lets you prune out unhelpful results from your search and then saves off the list of links for later use. You still have to click on each of them, over and over. But, you could save this off to a file and make notes to go with the links. I'm a database person, myself, so I want a database out of this somehow - not a file. But, then, that's me. Others might find grokker to be all that they need.
