Diigo
Calling itself a social annotation service, Diigo functions much
like social bookmarking site del.ico.us (indeed, the two can easily
be linked). Besides allowing users to share, tag, and comment
upon their bookmarks with others, Diigo also permits highlighting
of pages and attaching sticky notes to comment upon particular
sections. This is a terrific research tool.

Google reader
Blogs have become an essential means of communicating everything
from the scholarly to the silly and everything in between. I prefer
Google Reader, but, as of yet, it doesn't have a blogroll feature.
So, here are the blogs
that I read (listed via Bloglines).
EverNote
A free note organizing program that makes it easy to find notes
by date or category. An expanding collection of templates make
it easy to organize everything from class notes to shopping lists.
JabRef
To organize your academic references, use JabRef. You can enter
all necessary citation information along with notes on each. This
information can be exported to a bibTex file to use in your LaTeX
documents.
TeXnicCenter
Speaking of LaTeX, here's an easy program to implement the format.
Also, an
excellent, no-nonsense guide for typesetting in LaTeX.
TeX4PPT
Like the beauty of LaTeX typesetting but want to use PowerPoint
for your presentation? Here's your solution.
The R project
Lastly, a tool for statistical and mathematical analysis. It was
designed by statisticians, so it performs these calculations very
efficiently. The best part? It's free.
JSTOR
The best.
SSRN
Working papers.
EconLit
From the AEA.
Index to Legal Periodicals
Great way to find law articles.
HeinOnline
The JSTOR of law reviews.
Google Scholar
Between this and the original flavor of Google, you've got a
good start.
