Ways to record notes/information discovered on a day to day basis?

I find that throughout my day I discover an awful lot of titbits about topics and probe deeper to find further very interesting information. I, however, never record this data as it can be fairly sporadic and random. Is there a piece of software where I can simply input data, links, musing and then add it to a topic or title that I can then order and view whenever I want and I can see a list of the data Ive doented along with a date etc. This is a very random question but if anyone can help.
