Tip 16: Note taking software

11/7/2006; 10:33 AM

My criteria for research collection or note taking software is this:-

  • Can add web content easily with 1 or 2 clicks from both IE and Firefox
  • Can add a text selection or full web page
  • Not restricted to the web browser
  • Keeps reference to the source
  • Easily syncronise between different copies running on different machines
  • Keeps all notes organised in a single place
The software I use to satisfy all these criteria is Evernote. I've been using Evernote since March '05 and even if there was a time I was about to abandon it for Notepad2, I'm still using it today.

If you have access to a mac, check out Yojimbo.

Unfortunately I haven't got a mac. It looks very promising from the site though.
