Evernote, getting organized?

// October 8th, 2009 // misc.

For years I used Google notebook as a way to collect various pieces of info from the net.  I would come across random sayings, e-mails, quotes, ideas and other related things that I wanted to save for later.  Of course, I’m not too organized and I never knew how long I would save something before I needed it  and before I knew it I had thousands of items saved in my notebooks.  Everything was great, I had a little button I could click in firefox to auto save selected items into google notebook.  Then I get an e-mail from Google informing me that they are discontinuing the Notebook project.  I was seriously freaking out until I found Evernote.  It was truly a life saver.  Not only did it do mostly everything that Google Notebooks did, it also came with desktop clients for my mac and windows box and an app for my blackberry.  I use prism to load evernote on my linux machine and, all of this was free.  If you know me at all you know that if it’s free then it is for me.  Need a way to take care of your note-taking needs?  Check out evernote at www.evernote.com
