Here are some of the items Phil Libin added to his account in October. Evernote (read the Inc. magazine feature on Company of the Year Evernote here) can store audio memos, webpages, e-mails, documents, and photos. Libin uses it to keep a log of meetings, company metrics, and online articles. He even takes photos of his meals when he travels, so he can remember what he ate.
Web Clippings
By downloading a browser add-on, you can save webpages—like this snippet about a camera that caught Libin's eye—with a single click. Evernote archives text and images.
Digital Bread Crumbs
You can add labels and tags to make items easier to find in a search. Evernote automatically tracks when the note was created and where you were when you created it. You can also organize items into notebooks.
It's Everywhere
Evernote has apps for PC, Mac, iPad, and nearly every kind of smartphone. There's also a Web-based application. You can even store information by forwarding e-mails to Evernote.
Searchable Scribbles
Evernote reads and catalogs visible text in photos, including handwritten notes (provided you have decent penmanship). If you upload a photo of a whiteboard to Evernote, you can find the file again later by doing a search for one of the words on the board.
