Evernote is a fairly simple sort of app in concept it’s just aggregating text, Web links, documents, photos and sound, but …holy cow, what can’t you do when all that information is available to all your computing devices? Add to that encryption and sharing, and its utility reaches epic levels. Pardon me if this starts to sound like a laundry list. If you’ve ever had that conversation that starts “I read this really great article” and ends with “but I can’t remember where it was,” you understand why this is awesome. It has become my Internet Brain Storage Mechanism. I can access and search through that content from any machine that has Evernote on it.
I can copy the content from websites and email it to my Evernote address (or use the Web Clipper feature), along with the URL. My gateway into Evernote was Web Clippings. The other problem is that the content sometimes shifts (or the website dies) and whatever brilliance was there is now lost to me forever. Part of the problem is that I use too many computers, with many different operating systems, and the bookmark I need is never on the computer I’m currently using. Bookmark lists are a black hole to me, into which great ideas get sucked, never to be heard from again. You know how some obvious, everyday things just never click for you? For me, one of those was bookmarking in the browser. Software & Apps App of the Week – Evernote
