Haven’t discovered Evernote yet? This hugely popular multiple award-winning FREE app, they say, “turns your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad into an extension of your brain.” Gotta love that…Evernote lets you create text, photo and audio notes and instantly synchs them up from your mobile to your Mac or Windows desktop.
- makes text within snapshots searchable
- allows you to mark notes as “Favorite” for quick access
- all notes include geo-location information for mapping and search
Evernote’s great for research and class notes. Did we mention it’s free? Go Evernote!
I’m curious about Evernote and would like to investigate using it, but I do not like the idea of having all my research data (some of which is confidential, e.g. interviews) out there in the ‘cloud’. What are people’s thoughts on using web-based research tools like this?
