Evernote is simply a great tool!
The simplest thing to say is that it’s like Notepad on the web, accessible from anywhere. But, it is WAY more than that.
Here’s some copy from their site: http://www.evernote.com
Capture Everything – Chances are, if you can see it or think of it, Evernote can help you remember it. Type a text note. Clip a web page. Snap a photo. Grab a screenshot. Evernote will keep it all safe
Organize it – Everything you capture is automatically processed, indexed, and made searchable. If you like, you can add tags or organize notes into different notebooks.
Find anything fast – Search for notes by keywords, titles, and tags. Evernote magically makes printed and handwritten text inside your images searchable, too.
You can write text or clip it from any web site. You can put up videos or embed them from video sites. You can save pictures here from your computer or phone.
And then (and this is one of my favorite features!) if you do a search for something, it searches the text inside your pictures, too! Really great and fast Character Recognition means that you don’t have to transcribe something you see. You can just snap it and then search the text later. Awesome!
I use it for keeping track of trainings I do, clients information, as a daily journal, and for about a dozen other things.
It’s super easy to use, amazingly powerful, available on the web, through a downloadable program, or through your phone. It interacts with Twitter, Twitpic, Pelotonics, Jott (Which is awesome and deserves its own write-up!) and others.
And the kicker is… it’s free!
Go get it now and easily organize your life.
