Evernote makes note-taking easy
If you like to keep notes or lists using your PC, you might want to consider Evernote. This free product/service combination includes software you can use on your Windows computer, automatic syncing to Evernote’s Internet servers, and a web version that you can use from anywhere. I use it to clip interesting web content and to keep track of recipes, restaurants I want to try, movies I’d like to see, ideas for blog posts, and more. I like that I can access and add to my notes from any web browser, as well as keep multiple PCs in sync. Features that I haven’t tried include syncing with an iPhone, publishing the notebook to the web for public viewing, and more. There’s also a paid subscription available for people who want to take advantage of more storage space and certain advanced features.
I’ve used Evernote for three months and I agree. It’s extremely useful in numerous ways. With its Twitter integration, you can easily send your favorite Tweets to Evernote — that way, you can add comments and tags to your favorites. And it has OCR for photos and graphics, so you can even search for terms in a picture. By the way, it’s not only available for Windows, but for Mac, too.
