I send and receive quite a few tidbits via email every day. Usually it's something I thought of with regards to a project, or some really useful ideas for tracking communications with one of the people I work with. Sometimes it is just an interesting observation. You name it, it gets emailed. Unfortunately once it has been consumed it's gone.

The people at Google have come up with a good idea to prolong the life span of all the smart things their employees think of. According to this post at WWD Google encourages its employees to write a five line note and submit it to a searchable database.

Talk about well and truly acknowledging that great ideas can come from anyone at any time. Smart move.
