There are lots of bookmarking sites out there (Delicious, Technorati, Reddit) to help you keep track of online items of interest. Most of these dont really do much to help you format article bibliographic details into an accepted academic referencing style.
These two FREE online tools do just that...
Connotea - The oldest of the many online referencing sites started life as a tool for scientists and researchers to manage references. Connotea provides a free online space for you to store, share and most importantly manage all your sources into a range of academic referencing styles.
Zotero - A free Firefox add on (ie you need to be using Mozilla Firefox as your internet browser) developed by the Centre for New Media & History at George Mason University. Zotero allows you to import & export items in a range of formats (including images and presentations) add your own notes and arrange bibliographic citations into your chosen referencing style. The best way to get started with Zotero is to watch the demo videos on the site.
Enjoy!
