Evernote
« on: Nov 17, 2008, 04:51 am »
I've just discovered Evernote, which is an online service that collects your notes.  The amazingly helpful thing about it is that you can snap a picture with your cell phone, send it to the email address they provide you, and it will recognize the text in the picture.  That text is then searchable.  So cool!  I like this feature because you can take a picture of a note jotted down on a post-it, or a business card, or a poster on a wall, and it will get neatly organized and digitized for you.

There's all sorts of interesting organizational duties this site can do for you, and it's free!  (You can sign up for a premium account, too, if you want that.)  There's a desktop client and a web client, and there's one for iPhone/Windows Mobile too.

www.evernote.com

Does anyone else use this service?

Wow, that's a pretty cool service.
If only I had a smart phone.

You don't actually need a smart phone...if you have a camera phone you can snap pics of notes etc throughout the day, text them to the email address they give you, and then use your computer to review them.

And, it's also great for compiling notes from the web.
