Need a Second Brain? Try Evernote

I have a horrible memory.  Even when I try to be organized and responsibly record and save information, I forget where I keep it.  But that’s not the case with Evernote.

Evernote is an online application with an interface that can be downloaded.  It’s a note taking system on steroids.  It’s a second brain that you can used to remember everything.  Yes, everything.

First, Evernote allows you to store anything.  Jot down notes. Store photos. save clips from websites.  Save emails.  Create to do lists.

Everything you capture is automatically processed, indexed, and made searchable. If you like, you can add tags or organize notes into different notebooks.

Search for notes by keywords, titles, and tags. Evernote magically makes printed and handwritten text inside your images searchable, too.

There are so many uses for Evernote there is a FriendFeed group where users continue to share all the new ways they think of.  Some of these include:

1. Snap a photo of a business card with your phone, and have an easy way to store and access contacts.
2. Capture plane tickets and confirmation numbers, hotel invoices, and receipts for your expense reports.
3. Keep a file of anything cool you want to buy for yourself or as a gift, whether it’s online or out in the real world.
4. Keep notes from your meetings all in one place. Take a picture of a whiteboard and you’ll be able to find it later.
5. Plan your next trip. Clip web pages, maps, and itineraries. Capture sights, sounds, tastes, and anything else.
6. Research web sites and clip pages directly from your browser.
7. Keep a record of your favorite wines by snapping a photo of the label when you find one you like.
8. Remember the things you were supposed to remember. Create to-do lists, jot down random thoughts, leave a voice memo, and more.
9. Create notes right from Twitter and save tweets that you like.
