Tabbed browsing is useful in that way, although my new problem is now tab management. I now end up with a two-phase approach: open up new tabs, then when they're too small, go thru them, read 'em, and close 'em. Scatter/Gather, anyone? -- I also forward lists of links to various folks; I should just use a blog.
