Evernote Rocks Da House!

July 9, 2009 in Technologic with 1 Comment

I know it’s not a new service, but Evernote is kickin’ it up a notch lately. If you’re unfamiliar with Evernote, it is billed as a cloud app that allows you to “remember everything.” It may not get everything, but it gets pretty darn close.

I just started using the “email to Evernote” feature (which is under “Settings” in case you don’t want to spend 20 minutes looking for it like I did!) which gives me a unique email address to send notes to. For instance, I just emailed a PayPal receipt to Evernote from my iPhone (they have a sweet iPhone app). It converts it to a PDF and zaps it to my Evernote account, nice and neat like.

I use Evernote for:

  • Receipts. Evernote has OCR built into it, so I can snap a quick photo of a receipt with my iPhone, send it to Evernote, and search for it later. I also rely heavily on the tag feature to find receipts for end-of-the-month statements at work.
  • Blog Fodder. Find something you read or watched online that you really like? Use Evernote’s web clipper to save it for later to include in a blog post.
  • Note taking. I found myself needing to take notes while in front of a computer that was not mine. Enter Evernote. I logged onto my web account, pounded out my notes, synced up with the cloud server, and there they were when I needed them. Mobile computing, baby.

Evernote has a lot more uses than that. Sign up for an account and start playing around with it. The future is mobility and Evernote is way ahead of the game. Don’t say I never gave you anything! If you don’t know, now you know…

If you’re an Evernote user, how do you utilize it?

    I am using Evernote right now when I am reading a technical book. When I see something in my ActionScript 3.0 book that I know I will be using quite frequently, I take a snap shot of it, tag it, then I will be able to search it later. I am hoping that it will help me with my development when I can quickly find my notes on a specific topic, instead of pulling out my book, going to the index, then searching for that piece of "code".
