New knowledge work tools

Knowledge work systems (KWS) are information systems that extend people's capabilities for doing non-repetitive tasks. You can find more information about information systems on the Laudon book. A great read!

Concerning KWSs, a friend suggested I try the following tools:

Freemind (multi-platform) is an application for drawing mind-maps. Great for meeting notes.

For helping in web-based searches, with full referencing, try DevonThink (Mac) or EverNote (Windows).

For a new take on text editors, check Textmate (Mac).

I've been looking for a "Web Clipboard" (copy-paste). Wouldn't it be useful to share information with this known paradigm while chatting with a colleague on a messenger application. Do you know any tool like this that is out there? Leave a link on the comments. Thanks!
