Need to encrypt a secret message to someone, or send passwords to someone via email?
Now you can do this quite easily using the CryptFire add-on for firefox, just highlight some text, right-click choose encrypt with link, select a password and your done. Give your buddy the link and send the password in a separate email or via IM or twitter.

You could also just encrypt the text and email it to them, where they can select the encrypted text, right-click and decrypt.

There is also an option to Encrypt as text which scambles your message into a bunch of random text.

If you use Safari for your browsing pleasure, then you can simply go the the CryptFire decrypt page and decrypt the text.

CryptFire decrypts and encrypts your Text with the military grade AES encryption algorithm using a Javascript Library.
All encryption is done on your computer, not on a remote server, so your text is as safe as your password.

There is a new web based productivity tool coming to town and it’s called WebNotes.

The main Web site emphasizes annotating, organizing and sharing your web notes, however I have also found it to be a great bookmarking tool as well.  I can highlight text and add a note to a Web page I visit and it automatically saves the link (notes included). I can later use the Organizer to create folders to move the saved page clippings in.

You can share your marked up pages with friends and co-workers by emailing them or sharing a permalink via instant messenger or SMS.

This is a sample of a well formatted email that the recipient receives and they do not need to have a webnotes account to view your notes.

I use multiple browsers (Safari, Flock and Firefox) on my MacBook Pro and occasionally I even use IE in a virtual machine. I have the webnotes tool bar installed in all of them so I can easily access my saved pages from any of the browsers or computers I happen to be using.

WebnNotes is still in beta, and requires an invatation, you can go to the WebNotes site and register for an invitation.
I endded up asking people in Twitter if they had any invites.

I happen to have 6 invites left, if you would like one, leave me a comment with your name and email address.
