Evernote

The book I read to research this post was Evernote for Dummies by David Y A Sarna which is an excellent book which I bought from Kindle. Believe it or not I had never heard of the Evernote software or website until I noticed this book was in the Top 10 of the computing book chart on Kindle. It piqued my interest I then visited the website & signed up on a basic free account & decided to buy the book. Evernote is a note taking program in either online or software which you download form. Tens of millions of people have downloaded the software. The beauty of Evernote though is that you can synchronize practically any smartphone, tablet or computer built in the last few years to access your account. It even works with AppleMacs & one point I'd better make is not all the features work with every platform. You can use it with Twitter. You simply type @dmEN to send a message to Evernote. In addition if you follow @myEN your tweets will automatically be copied into the online form of Evernote if you have it. You can copy information to and from Facebook & it's possible to set it up to do the same with a blog. Also you can search through your notes by keyword. If you think of the alternative that you have hundreds of pieces of paper on your desk & it takes you about an hour to find what you want, I think Evernote makes sense. Also you can upload things like photos & pdf's. There is a premium version & you can upload upto 1,024 MB of data using that per day. There's a file limitation of 25 MB with the basic account & 50 MB with the premium. Your total amount of space you can take up is unlimited on both accounts. Some companies have written 3rd party programs like Eventnote which only works with Google Chrome but is a calendar planning program.
