“Evernote 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.” – The Evernote People.
Lauren Davidson says: Evernote is the open-source equivalent to Microsoft’s OneNote… minus the Microsoft monopoly bugs and glitches, and plus oodles of options and add-ons to expand it’s uses with your Mac, PC, iPhone or other mobile device. Evernote takes the place of note pads, scratch paper, sticky notes and “favorites files”. En somme, wherever you used to save important ideas, only to lose them in a sea of paper or electronic files.
I use Evernote to jott down blog ideas, products I’d like to research and review, lists of clients to be in touch with, marketing ideas, resources and more. In the past, I would have used a notebook or (heaven forbid) made a MS Word document for a list or brainstorming project! Now that’s a guarantee I’ll never look at it again.
With Evernote, I just delete the note when I’m done with it. A metaphorical crumbling of the sticky-note and tossing of it into the circular file.
Plus, Evernote is good looking. Take a quick tour and see if Evernote is for you!

Mar 17, 09 at 5:48 pmGreat posting on Evernote. Evernote is key to “ubiquitous capture” of ideas and things that I need to get done. I use it all the time on my iphone to capture my ideas.
Now, here’s where you will like our tie-in with Evernote due to what you do for a living. About 20-30% of my ideas involve other people on projects I am working on. For those items that I have in Evernote, I assign them out as tasks or create messages from them all within my project management system Pelotonics using our integration with Evernote. It is pretty cool. Phil Libin said that we are giving people the ability to take action on their notes and he is exactly right. I put together some use cases for you to see what I am talking about: http://www.pelotonics.com/evernote_usecases.html
