Social media integration required for note taking apps


Recommended Posts

Posted

Considering how much effort we put into our notes, it would be nice to easily share them. There are so many note taking apps that it is very likely that the person with whom you share is not using the platform of your choice. You could suggest that they sign up on a free account but that is not likely to happen. People are creatures of habit, they use what they have always used. “What is best is that with which I am familiar.“ It is foolhardy of note taking apps to think people will sign up for serendipitous exchanges. 

A good note taking app should have the flexibility to share with social media. To some extent, this is provided by the OS, particularly in a browser on mobiles. Spotify is an app that encourages sharing with direct sharing to Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, Telegram, Skype, tumblr, copy album link, copy embedded code, and copy spotify URL. Social media use varies between countries so that the list needs to be quite long. For example, the king of all apps in Germany is WhatsApp. Surely, WhatsApp should be included as one of the options. 

Social media usage in Germany (% of the population - source Statista, 11/11/2020)

  1. WhatsApp 94%
  2. Messenger 51%
  3. Skype 15%
  4. Telegram 13%
  5. Theema 3%
  6. Signal 2%

Integration with note taking apps
The presumption here is for sharing you do not need an account with the note taking app. This allows "passive sharing" where I can share from the note app of my choice to a customer/person without them having to do anything to get it. I adjust to their habits and I do not expect them to adjust to mine. "How can I best contact you," is worth asking. 

  • OneNote – email
  • Notejoy – Slack
  • Notion – none
  • Evernote 10 – email not supported any more :-(

Email is necessary but not good enough
I know of people who check personal email every few days or even just on weekends. Send a message with social media of THEIR choice and they will get back to you quickly -  from minutes to hours. Email is good for business but it increasingly does not serve the needs of a broader and particularly the younger community well. 

If Evernote is to survive it needs to broaden its horizon for popular, mass-market appeal.

Interesting post - EN could easily be the best editing and release control tool for blogging and social media content one could imagine.

I completely agree! Email is great for business communication, but it's not always the most convenient for personal communication. I think it would be great if Evernote could add more options for sharing, like WhatsApp or Skype, to make it more accessible for everyone.

Integration with social networks will make the application more convenient for users. Convenience is the most important criterion when choosing a note app, so developers should do everything to make the app convenient.

Social media - and what’s next, Zuckies meta-something with torsos moving around, legless ? Flapping notes in the form of Post-It tabs to the forehead of the avatars ? EN offering a paralyzer magic tusk to make the avatars motionless, to improve the note sticking operation ?

I don’t believe EN needs to follow every frenzy or trend, just to stay cool and „convenient“.

For me it is enough when it continues to gain productivity and efficiency.

Beside this more general remark, you can share any note with a link. A sharing link is an universal URL that can be posted everywhere. Even on social media …

Next posting about a ChatGPT integration for the forum, please. Self writing forum posts, the next hot ***** !

 I had the same problem, but could never figure out how to customize.

You're replying to a 4 year old post - what's your device,  OS and Evernote version numbers,  and precise issue?  And are you a 'bot?

Social media integration in note-taking apps can be a powerful way to enhance your productivity and content creation workflow. Here's a breakdown of the benefits and potential features:

Benefits of Social Media Integration:

  • Content Curation: Save interesting articles, posts, and ideas directly from social media into your notes for later reference or inspiration.
  • Content Sharing: Easily share your notes or excerpts with your social media followers, sparking discussions and expanding your reach.
  • Cross-Platform Posting: Create content in your notes and then seamlessly publish it to various social media platforms, saving time and effort.
  • Social Listening: Capture social media conversations and trends within your notes to analyze sentiment, gather feedback, and identify opportunities.
  • Community Building: Engage with your social media audience directly from your note-taking [deleted], fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

Potential Features:

  • Direct Saving: Save posts, images, and videos from social media feeds directly into your notes with a single click or tap.
  • Hashtagging and Tagging: Add relevant hashtags and tags to your notes to categorize them and make them easily searchable on social media.  
     
  • Scheduled Posting: Plan and schedule your social media posts directly from your note-taking app, ensuring consistent content delivery.
  • Analytics Tracking: Monitor the performance of your social media posts within your note-taking app, tracking metrics like likes, shares, and comments.
  • Collaboration Tools: Collaborate with others on notes and social media content, streamlining teamwork and content creation processes.  
     
  • Integration with Social Media Management Tools: Connect your note-taking app with social media management platforms for advanced scheduling, analytics, and engagement features.

Examples of Social Media Integration in Note-Taking Apps:

  • Evernote: Offers integration with IFTTT, allowing you to automate the saving of social media content into your notes.  
     
  • Notion: Provides embed blocks for social media posts, enabling you to display and interact with social media content within your notes.

  • Security: Ensure that the note-taking app you choose has robust security measures to protect your social media credentials and data.
  • Relevance: Focus on integrating social media features that align with your note-taking goals and workflow.

By strategically integrating social media with your note-taking app, you can create a powerful hub for content curation, creation, and sharing, ultimately boosting your productivity and online presence.

Hi.  I deleted your original addition to this 4+ year old thread because it contained a link to a third party service.  Please don't do that.
