Evernote
One of my favorite tools right now is Evernote. It is great for keeping text notes, saving pictures and screen-shots, capturing info from web pages, and even dropping in PDFs.
Top reasons I like and use Evernote:
- It’s easy and convenient. Everything in one place. Separated into notebooks, notes, tagged… However I want to organize my info.
- For those things that I choose to sync from my Mac to my web account, info is web accessible through a browser or my iPhone.
- It is multi-platform: Mac, Windows, web browser, iPhone, Blackberry, etc.
- It’s free.
- While, I only use the free version right now because it meets my needs as of right now, but there is a paid version that allows more web storage space and some additional features.
- I use Evernote for: work documents and note-taking, personal notes and ideas, storing copies of personal scanned personal paperwork, clippings from the web and my Google reader, and much more.
- The list goes on…
I was inspired to share this tool when I read Guy Kawasaki’s 14 Practical Ways to use Evernote this morning. Take a look at his tips. (Note that some of the text scanning features that he mentions are paid, premium features.) I’ve recommended it to several Southbrook staff members since I started using it about 6 months ago.
