emacsOne of the "killer-features" of emacs that's been getting buzz is org-mode
(http://www.orgmode.org). It's a do everything note taker/planning
system that every emacs user should check out.
I stumbled across a page (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php) describing how to capture text/links into org files with a Firefox bookmarklet. Now whenever I want to save a snippet of information for later I just hightlight and click the bookmarklet. The information automatically is added to the proper .org file I setup.

I don't use it the way you are though as I mostly capture things to my (various) wiki(s) online. The neat thing is using Emacs as an editor for my wikis via the ItsAllText plugin on Firefox. I've become so dependent on Emacs that I fail when trying to edit something without it now.
