Shortwave

Shortwave is a nifty tool that can save you a few page loads. When clicked, it pops up a command window that allows you to enter shortcuts. For example, "yt some search term" will open the youtube search results page for "some search term." This is nice, as it prevents you from having to load the youtube home page first. The really cool part is that the shortcuts are cutomizeable.

Here's a screenshot of the bookmarklet in action:

I've been using the new Evernote bookmarklet for the past few days.  It does a fairly good job of capturing a page and storing it in evernote, although it works much better in Firefox than in Safari.  Here's some more info from the Evernote blog:

A Better TinyURL Bookmarklet
