My favorite tool of the year is Furl.  Furl is a free service that allows you to bookmark and save a personal copy of a website.  You can save the site as it appears when you surf to it and search the sites you have saved. 

Another reason I love Furl -- it has an RSS feed of recently Furled entries by members.  The serendipitous effect of looking at what others are furling and saving (a bit voyeuristic) is insanely interesting.  There are a lot of entries - so set your archiving settings high (I only save the last 2 days worth).

For example, the latest feed shows this page Furled by a user:

Canada School of Public Service

Innovation has been described and defined in numerous ways. The Roundtable chose "a transformative idea that works" as its working definition. While there will always be active debate about what constitutes innovation, most people would agree that they "know innovation when they see it". Innovation is about passion, purpose, and profound results.

This toolkit provides a powerful resource for group leaders to exploit the potential of their teams to generate transformative innovations. It provides teams with a practical and deliberate approach to innovation.

Interesting read - check it out.

Another great resource that does a similar thing is The Way Back Machine. This website allows you to view archived pages without having to save them yourself. According to the website, "[b]rowse through 30 billion web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago." The address:http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
