For this installment I am going to highlight an app that let's me keep all of my notes and important links all in one place.This fantastic app is called Evernote.
Just like the logo represents the elephant never forgets and this app is critical to managing all of your notes. Evernote again like many of the apps I will be discussing is a combination of local application as well as a website/cloud service. Here is a great graphic from their website that highlights just a few of the things that can be done with this great app:
Both the desktop app and website make it amazingly simple to tag and add to specific notebooks. The search makes it easy to search through all of the information in your notebooks and retrieve when your memory could not quite clear out the cobwebs. Evernote installs a great little clipper in most browsers to quickly store information from websites as well as capturing the URL at the same time. Included with the service is the ability to have your own email address that you can send notes to which allows quick note capturing from mobile devices. Speaking of mobile devices the iPad and iPhone apps are superb and very well thought out. They allow you to quickly capture an image and upload it while in the background it uses the geo location information so you now have a record of where you have been and what you want to remember. I think it would have been great for Hansel and Gretel to find their way back home.
They do also offer a premium service that is only $45 a year and I believe is well worth it.
This is a great application and when combined with the iPad or iPhone app you really have a way to quickly record information while knowing you can retrieve it at anypoint.
