Wget local copies of your online research

"You've been diligently bookmarking and clipping web pages using an online service like del.icio.us, Google Notebook or digg. Sure, storing your data on the web is great for from-any-online-computer access, but in an age of cheap, enormous hard drives and powerful desktop search, why not replicate the data you keep on the web to your computer? That way you'll have a copy of every web page as it appeared when you bookmarked it, and a searchable archive of your research even when you're offline.

Using my favorite command line tool wget, you can download the contents of a page of del.icio.us links, diggs or public Google Notebook automatically and efficiently to your hard drive."
