A Note About Evernote

posted in fun, miscellany, images/graphics, technology, social tools, web 2.0, organization |

Need to remember something or just want to track your activities? Evernote is there (and we’re not talking paid insurance services of the State Farm variety here, although Evernote does offer insurance of sorts in the remembering things category). Evernote is there for you via its desktop (Windows and Mac), web, and mobile offerings.

Besides its mobility, a few other features to note about Evernote:

  • Evernote plays well with other applications such as Jott and Skitch (and who can tell what the future holds?)
  • Evernote has admirable text recognition of captured items (thus making the text searchable and the items findable)
  • Evernote’s captured content can be of a wide variety (Evernote’s examples of “things to capture” being: Webpages, Wine labels, Whiteboards, Scribbles, To-dos, and Photos)
  • Evernote notes can be entered multiple ways such as manually typing, captured images (webcam), clipping web pages or pictures, email, and/or voice.

From the Evernote Corporation Getting Started:

Evernote is a Web Service that helps users manage all the digital information most relevant to them. The Service can be accessed through free, user-friendly Evernote software running on a personal computer or mobile device, or any Web browser.

If you’re like many people in the world today who are trying to keep up with an ever increasing onslaught of information, whether personal or business, it’s getting harder and harder to keep track of all the information that you care about - and to find it when and where you need it.

Evernote can help. Our services and software are so simple, easy to use, and valuable that you’ll wonder how you ever got by without them. You’ll always have access to your information, even as the devices and applications that you use to access them changes over time. Imagine, no more manually reentering or copying information, no more digging through pieces of paper and software applications to find photos, that favorite restaurant review, a research report, scanned documents, web clipping, and much more.

So if any of that sounds interesting, here’s how to proceed. First, request an invite. Then sit back and wait for your invite to arrive (it didn’t take me too long to get mine, and I don’t think it’s solely because I’m irresistible…). Perhaps you could sleep a little, enjoy a good meal, or read a good book (perhaps even try one I have reviewed :) ).

Also, in the meantime, you can get started watching these YouTube videos by Evernote Phil and reading other reviews of Evernote. My review wasn’t that extensive, because why reinvent the wheel when others have already provided such enlightening synopses, for example:

You can also view Evernote’s What is Evernote or read the Evernote blog (or just request an invitation and play). On that note, enjoy (and have a great weekend)…
