Evernote

February 26, 2009

It almost seems to good to be true but there is a free product, Evernote,  that  allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at any time, from anywhere. For example you can save whole or selected portions of web pages to Evernote. Or an entire email or just selected text. In the process of saving an item you are prompted to give it a categorization Tag so you can easily filter your saved items. I find it invaluable whether doing online comparisons in searching for a product or doing research for an article I plan to write. There is a Premium upgrade if you need some advanced features, but for the me the free version is perfect.
