Evernote - A Review of Evernote The Bottom Line At the suggestion of a very organized co-worker, I decided to try using Evernote, an online system designed to help you keep track of and remember important details and information - the things you might typically jot down on a notepad or on a sticky pad. I was skeptical at first as I had tried other online information systems without much success. After trying Evernote, I must admit the system exceeded my expectations. Description EVERNOTE Website The Evernote program allows you to: capture information in multiple formats such as free text, emails, attachments, photos and screen shots of websites; organize the data into electronic notebooks by category or project; and search for the data using keywords, titles and tags. You start using the system by installing the client application on your desktop and then by setting up a free online account. Every note that is created or edited is automatically synchronized to a web version of Evernote for your review. Pros Cons
