In this world of constant and instant information, it can sometimes be hard to put all of the information into a meaningful and searchable format. Evernote can do just that.

I use Evernote to keep both professional and personal information organized in appropriately titled "notebooks". The notes in these notebooks are accessible from my desktop, the web and my smartphone. Tags on the notes aid in searching, but Evernote can also search the text in each note.

The information in the notes can come from websites, photographs, scanned documents and text documents. Once I've uploaded them to my Evernote account, I can organize them easily.

Some of the ways I use Evernote is to store research documents, gift lists, recipes, and any information that I want mobile access to.

I have only started to touch on the uses of Evernote. The possibilities are endless. For more information, check out their website or blog .
