With their tag line “Remember Everything”, Evernote promises to help you store and access your information, anywhere you might be. Evernote is a stunning service with a desktop client, web client, numerous Mobile apps, and an iPhone app. Inputting information is simple, and retrieving it is just as trivial.
The Desktop client, available for Windows and Mac OS X, allows you to take screenshots, type text notes, take an iSight snapshot, or drag-and-drop files into an evernote “note” – which is then stored on the internet. On the iPhone, you could jot out a text note, take a snapshot, or even record a voice note.

You can organize your notes by tags and notebooks. While tags and notebooks provide for easy organization, search is quite possibly the coolest feature in Evernote. For starters, pictures are translated to text, which allows you to simply search through handwritten notes and clippings without having to add any computerized data. For instance, you could take a picture of a napkin in which you scribbled out a business plan. Then, do a search for a word you wrote down – and that napkin picture would show up.

Evernote has certainly not slowed down the pace of innovation, either. Besides the constant stream of minor interface and functional improvements, several huge announcements have also been made. One of which was the Evernote API, which allows third-party developers to create applications and services based on Evernote. For instance, Pelotonics and Tarpipe have both utilized this API to create seamless integration between Evernote and their respective products. Along with the API, Evernote also announced support for OS X & Windows scripting – so now you can get all AppleScripty with your evernote client!

Another recent announcement from Evernote was the introduction of File Synchronization. This feature is available to premium subscribers, and allows you to drop any file into a note for synchronization across all your evernote clients. You can include multiple files and file types in a single note. Just like any other note, the files are automatically synced in what is known as ‘Live Update’.

Evernote is extremely adaptable to whatever you might need it for. For instance, a student could utilize the features of Evernote to keep track of assignments, or a housewife could use it to keep track of to-do’s, grocery lists, and more. Many popular products and services, such as Skitch and Eye-Fi are also easily integrated with the Evernote workflow. The Evernote Blog publishes numerous posts on how to use their service in many different ways.

There are two tiers of accounts at Evernote, free and premium. A free account gives you access to all versions of Evernote, synchronization, and text recognition. However, your upload allowance is limited to 40MB, file synchronization is limited, security and support are standard, ads are shown in public notebooks, and you do not get priority image recognition. An upgrade to Premium means a 500MB upload allowance, the ability to sync any file type, premium support, SSL file encryption, priority image recognition,  and no ads in public notebooks. These features are going to cost you $5 a month, or $45 a year. You can sign up for an account at Evernote.com [*].
