Evernote

Ever so often, I find myself sitting down and cursing myself for not having taken a note down about something I had seen. I curse my memory, my habits, my lack of foresight ... and whoever I can curse for forgetting.

Serendipitously, today I found s great tool to help me ease the pain of trying to remember everything ... Evernote.

I am fascinated by what it could do including reading off handwriting, and other text of images. You have clients available for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android, Blackberry - the list is long. Once synced with the server, the "Notes" get indexed, making it easy to search. You can also tag them for your own reference. The sharing it publicly, or making it private feature is great to separate private from public. A free subscription allows you to upload 40MB on a monthly basis, while a $5 monthly /$45 annual charge allows you to take this upto 500MB. How cool is that ! ! !

Great for those who forget, for those who want to start on projects and are doing research, for the weekend bloggers (like me !!!)

Here is the introductory video
