Evernote, Evernote, Evernote!

 Yes, Evernote!  Honestly, I was wondering who did the laundry the other day and you know, Evernote did it!?  Really though, I added Evernote to Firefox also, and with Chrome, the two browsers sync about everything.  Yes, they actually cooperate.  Anyone else have this almost creepy experience?  Well, maybe I shouldn't say creepy, but, well, creepy.  Firefox isn't supposed to cooperate with Chrome.
  Evernote is one of those programs that will "accidentally" evolve into A.I. when no one is paying heed.  Being the software novice I am (I don't mind admitting it), I had to look into the help categories quite a bit to truly understand what all the program is capable of.  And being one of the last of the dying breed of those who don't own a Smartphone, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is no small thing to me.  I remember what seems like just a few short years ago when OCR was being developed and it was a very big deal.  As a free offering, Evernote really does put out.  I'm not yet qualified to get too technical,  but the OCR is the heart of it all.
  You can capture anything, from anywhere, with any device (of those viable ones in use in today's setting, of course), and Evernote will receive it, catalog it, file it, label it, etc., etc.  That's like having an office staff. What's that worth?
  I should have known that Evernote follows the standard format of so many web offerings these days, though it is a stand-out offering.  Evernote offers a premium account.  For $45.00 a year, you upgrade from 40MB per month for upload and supposedly spotty OCR, to 500MB per month upload and priority OCR, plus support and better security features.  I had to read some reviews because I've had no problems with the free version, and pretty much it seems keep your money if you can make it on 40MB.  Right now, I can.  In the future, I dunno.

  So a quick rundown.  The Interface.  I like it.  It's not cluttered.  It's well organized, to me.  I like the way it's partitioned:  1.Side Bar,  2.Note List,  3.Note Editor,  4.Search,  5.New Note Button,  6.Activity Stream Button,  7.Sync Button,  8.Account Info Button.  That's enough.

  You create and edit notes, or stuff.  I deleted some other capture add-ons I had because they were duplicates of Evernote's capture feature (oh yeah, that's Web Clipper, but we know they go together so I'm letting it ride).  I've edited and compiled.  I sync all the time and that is a kind of extra back-up.  Then you have sharing.  It's a complete package.
  I know there are other programs like Evernote out there, but until one lands in my lap and happens to be free, I'm happy.

There's a lot more to it!  http://evernote.com/
