How would I describe Evernote?
Evernote is my personal digital executive assistant!
Evernote is a free tool I use to capture ideas and take notes. I use it with my iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad, & Droid 2. It is like a digital file cabinet. I can enter a random note, take snapshot of something I want to remember (e.g., a business card or a book), and even record a voice memo. It is my augmented brain. It also syncs with my all my computers via the Web.
With a keyboard shortcut, I drop in articles and blog posts, sermon notes, images, and pictures. I have several notebooks for book ideas, one for meeting recaps, and one for sermon ideas, and it’s completely searchable. One of the coolest things about Evernote is that the search feature recognizes text inside of images. This means I can take a picture of a brainstorming session and Evernote will find a word from the whiteboard image. Again, there’s a web app, an application, and an iPhone/iPad app that keeps notes and ideas synced all of the time.
