I do the same but I do keep it in digital form because I just hate paper. There is a browser plug in called 'scrapbook' that works very well for me, I've tied it to a hotkey (shift-ctrl-B) to capture whatever is highlit on the screen without further confirmation or other interaction. I periodically dump the scrapbook and distill it.

I like it because it keeps the data locally rather than on some cloud service.
