7 Ways to Use Evernote - Stepcase Lifehack
Last week, Lifehack founder Leon Ho introduced me to the beta note taking application Evernote. Evernote boasts a variety of features that make it an excellent application, including automatic synchronization between the web and your other devices, tagging and sorting features, an online client that makes it accessible from anywhere, and a search feature that can even search text stored within images.

10 conseils pour commencer à bloguer
Il arrive assez souvent que des amis me demandent des conseils pour commencer un blog. Voici donc un article qui tente de répondre à ces questions. Comme ça tout le monde en profite 1. La veille est d’or, le blogging est d’argent Comprendre : la veille est le le préalable nécessaire au blog. Avant de lancer Tête de Quenelle, j’avais un premier blog que j’alimentais très occasionnellement, jusqu’à l’arrêter. Faire de la veille comporte de nombreux avantages : il permet d’observer ce que font les autres, repérer des techniques d’écriture, des pratiques, mais surtout, cela permet de trouver des sujets d’inspiration. 2.

Ecrire pour le web: « C’est la structure, imbécile! »
Comment faut-il écrire pour le web ? Souvent l’enseignement se résume à des techniques d’écriture et d’édition, et à l’usage que l’on peut faire des différents médias: texte, son, vidéo, infographie, etc. Cet enseignement ignore deux points clé: l’importance des liens hypertexte qui permettent de réunir dans un même ensemble des éléments d’apparence disparates et le fait qu’il soit possible de développer des récits non-linéaires, offrant la possibilité à chaque internaute de se construire son propre parcours de lecture.
