Tools & Apps
We believe in the power of technology. But we also have a respect for the power of that technology. In short, the solution must fit the need. Here’s a list (in progress) of tools which make our lives easier, help us to be more effective, and sometimes even inspire us to broaden our perspectives and be more creative.
What:
Evernote is a suite of software and services designed for notetaking and archiving. A “note” can be a piece of formatted text, a full webpage or webpage excerpt, a photograph, a voice memo, or a handwritten “ink” note. Notes can also have file attachments. Notes can be sorted into folders, then tagged, annotated, edited, given comments, searched and exported as part of a notebook.
