Hey guys, I was wondering if you could share how you keep track of everything related to the stuff you do online.

If you didn't get me, I mean how do you organize all your logins, identities, bookmarks, and sites online? I personally use KeePass and have folders split up into Forums, Affiliate Programs, General etc.

Also, do you usually try to stay anonymous online (i.e. use different usernames and emails when signing up for sites; use different Analytics accounts for your blogs/sites; keep all your sites hosted on one hosting account; etc.), or does it not really matter to you.

Roboform + Firefox profiles + private proxies and occasionally SSH tunneling with a VPS/Dedi server and different windows users or VMs.

It's overwhelming sometimes and I'm spending some time trying to tweak and automate things right now but that's the rig I use.

I use an excel spreadsheet + txt files, not the most elegant way to do this, but it works :-D

Being a "belt and suspenders" kinda guy... I use multiple methods.

A thesis book for each subject (site/campaign/etc) that is split into sections. Each section containing lists of email accts w/user-pass, etc.

That's the hard copy... EVERYTHING goes onto the hard copy as I'm doing it (or receving it from my outsourcers). Then I discovered Kexi!!! http://www.kexi-project.org/

So I replicated what I was doing in hard copy with a digital version in Kexi.

And for paying attention to what I'm doing I have a couple whiteboards for working things out, tracking development projects, "tickle" status, etc. The thesis books havn't gone totally away, although now it's just printouts from kexi.

I also use Google Docs to see what I did that day, to see progress.. something like a diary... and I above all other guys mentioned (Excel) use Evernote to keep notes, links from BHW, it's free and very good

Excel spreadsheets, text files in an organized directory structure for the sites, and The Journal from DavidRm. Best software I have ever used to keep track of multiple projects.

I still struggle to be honest, it is a lot to keep up with for one person.

I see spreadsheets are quite popular, I personally used them for a few weeks but then I just ditched them. Maybe I'll try giving them a go one more time.

I use spread sheets. But i like to print them off. every 3 days. So i can first hand on what's going on (i think it's easier to read spreadsheets when on paper). I can also then write all over them. Then update the spreadsheet. It works for me.
