A novel tool to remember things


It seems that more and more we have to deal with an ever growing amount of digital information.  It is increasingly difficult to manage things like pictures, bookmarks, notes, and other digital tidbits.  Evernote provides a clever way to organize it all.  The system is composed of a main application that runs on a computer and supporting plugins and apps that run on mobile devices.  For example, lets say that you come to a website on your computer that you want to remember.  Yes, it can be bookmarked, but often it is difficult to search through the default bookmark systems in most browsers. With Evernote, you can simply click on the Evernote elephant icon and a snapshot of the website is taken in conjunction with the URL.  You can then add comments, tags, and any other relevant information to help find it later.  The information can also be organized in different folders or notebooks which makes it easy to split things between work and play.

One of the best features of Evernote is that the information is always available.  The client in your computer synchronizes with your Evernote account in the cloud.  The information can then be accessed natively in AndroidBlackBerry OSiOS (Apple)Mac OS XWebOSMicrosoft Windows,Windows Mobile devices.  Two service plans are available.  The free one provides most of the features, but with a limited amount of storage.  The premium plan costs $5 per month and provides other enhanced features over the free plan.
