It’s perfectly integrated with the browser (tons of extensions and bookmarklets to choose from) and the OS.

Read more about DEVONthink here, but to make it short: I use it every day to archive and save any kind of information that come my way from web pages, email, social networks and the like. If you don’t use DEVONthink or don’t know what it is: it’s like Yojimbo on steroids, perfect for researchers, academics and, yes, bloggers who collect lots of data on a daily basis. The last one is a little bit more complex, as it’s a hack that enables you to export OmniFocus items - any OmniFocus item - from the app’s database to DEVONthink. Hat tip to Shawn Blanc for bringing this to my attention. Oh, by the way: this Chrome extension allows you to launch bookmarks in the toolbar just like you can do in Safari. Like I said, it’s very likely that you won’t have any issues and you’ll able to use the built-in clipping command just fine.

Just go here, install the bookmarklet in your browser toolbar.

This is an update version of the popular Nik URI handler that works with OmniFocus 1.8, which changed the URI scheme from x-omnifocus:// to omnifocus://. So I decided to go with a bookmarklet for the browser because, frankly, that’s where all my information and data come from. Actually, I had a hard time trying to make the shortcut work with the Finder and Mail.app. My problem is that I use Chrome dev version, and I found the clipping service to be unstable and unreliable. This does exactly the same thing of OmniFocus 1.8 default clipping command: it grabs the current window you’re in and opens the Quick Entry trying to fill the Name and Notes field. Either something’s changed on Google’s end or in OmniFocus’ URL grabbing system, but the thing doesn’t work anymore. From what I read, it used to allow you to choose a default project and context for your Reader items.
Last, I also tried to get this previous script from Gokubi to work. To use the Send To OmniFocus service, every time you’re reading an item you’d like to save hit Shift + T, select OmniFocus and save it through the Quick Entry panel. If you want, you can choose another icon and host it on your server, your call. To activate the service in your Google Reader account: navigate to Settings / Send To, click on “Create a custom link” and paste the required URLs from Nik’s blog. I found this service by Nik Friedman that not only grabs an item’s URL and title, but it also opens the Quick Entry and inserts the source in the notes field. Right after I saw that, I thought it would be extremely handy to be able to send items from Reader straight to OmniFocus: I have to play around with lots of news and material every day, and I until a week ago I was forced to manually copy URLs and titles and paste them into OF’s Quick Entry panel to save the task for later. The great things is, though, you can create custom Send To services by creating a new link in Reader’s settings. I use the Instapaper integration on a daily basis, and it saves me a lot of time. In case you don’t know, Google Reader has a feature to send items in your inbox to other services such as Twitter, Facebook and Instapaper. In the past two weeks I started looking for some neat hacks/tweaks/addons to integrate the OmniFocus desktop application with other parts of my workflow: the browser, Google Reader and DEVONthink. OmniFocus perfectly fits my workflow because it lets me add tasks and throw anything in there in seconds, but it’s also got the power I need when digging through dozens of projects and contexts. Not even a buggy iOS 4.2 beta that prevented me from loggin in my Omni Sync Server database in the iPad app. For many months now I’ve been a die-hard OmniFocus user, and no one - I repeat, no one - can’t take my GTD away from OmniFocus and me.
