I'm surprised no-one put a shout out for Remember The Milk. It's not perfect, but once you go through the GTD in RTM tutorial at http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2008/05/guest-post-advanced-gtd-with-remember-the-milk/ http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2008/05/guest-post-advanced-... , you can get something that works pretty awesomely. I tend to write down ideas in the "someday" list, or in the project list if it's a project. It just won't get a due date, nor tagged with "next". Every week I try to go through the list, and remove ideas that I don't think are worth following up. I also keep a research wiki where I dump links and ideas, but I haven't gone back there for a while. I think it's largely something useful to track back the genesis of an idea, and remember why you thought of it in the first place. I often remember the solutions to problems I have forgot!
