Evernote The One Ubiquitous Capture Device To Rule Them All?
Probably not but it’s a good title for a blog post…haven’t use Evernote for a year or so but it sounds like there have been some interesting development lately. When I was using it before there was some user created GTD templates available online, but in the end I found it to be yet another digital time suck. I’ve signed up for the new beta and will let you know if it doesn’t suck.
Evernote wants to be a database for every bit of knowledge in your life. It takes all of the digital data you collect throughout your day, both the important and the inconsequential, and stores them in a centrally-located library that’s accessible in an instant whenever you need it.
The software, which runs on multiple platforms and exists as a web service, collects whatever you throw at it — photos, web clippings, hand-written notes — and indexes everything for you. The result is that your life instantly becomes annotated and searchable. You can tag items and add comments to remind yourself why you saved something. Evernote can even search text and handwriting within photos, thanks to some awesome text recognition capabilities. (via wired)
