Evernote Won't Leave Me Alone

By Paul Kedrosky · Friday, December 2, 2005 ·

I added Evernote to my repertoire of software tools some time ago, not really thinking I would continue to use it. But I have. Matter of fact, it has become indispensable.

It is a toolbar-resident infinitely scolling “page” onto which you can type (or write) notes, clippings, images, and so on. You then tag them accordingly (or not), then keep right on scrolling. You can search for things by keyword, by date, by tag, and so on, and it is pretty much wide open and neverending.

I use Evernote for all sorts of things, ranging from notes during meetings, c/call stuff, project plans, snippets for articles/columns/blog posts, questions for companies I’m meeting, etc. etc. Evernote has ingratiated itself into my information life in an alarming way, replacing yellow sticky notes, but also adding a hyper dimension at the same time.

And did I mention Evernote is free? It’s free.
