(Archived) Clipping from various sources (Google Reader; Scrapbook,etc)

[m021478 0]

I don't suppose anyone has figured out a way to import all of your starred and/or shared items from Google Reader into Evernote, have they? The absolute best way to do this that I can think of would be to somehow add the capability to Evernote to add an RSS feed as its own Notebook (which, in my case would be my Google Reader Shared & Starred Items feeds), and upon doing so, Evernote would automatically import each item in the feed as an individual clipping entry and it would then be able to stay updated with newly shared/starred items as they are added...

How about a way in which I can somehow automatically import all of the web clippings I've captured over the years with the "Scrapbook" Firefox Extension?

Now that Evernote Beta is available, and there's a Macintosh Client and an iPhone client available as well, Evernote is bound to be seeing a whole bunch of new users in the near future, and it would be fantastic if the developers would work on a few automated ways of importing pre-existing data into Evernote that people have captured over the years using their chosen alternative web clipping apps (chipmarks, scrapbook, google reader, etc...). I don't suppose this is one the agenda, is it?

If anyone does know of a script of some sort, or some other way that would assist in importing Google Reader sharred/starred items, please do tell...

Thanks!

You can email things into EN. I wonder if there's some way to convert your RSS feed into email?

That's a clever workaround suggestions, and there are several services that do this, but I don't think there are any that will send the full text feed via email, instead they just send a feed item Title with a clickable link...

Here are some examples: http://lifehacker.com/search/rss%20email/

Anyone know of such a service that will email fulltext rss??

I think this might do it, but its a paid service...

I don't know if Feedburner would help. I use it to email my blog feed to me. Because my feed includes the entire post, it works for me. Hope you find a solution!

Hi guys,

I use the free RSS reader "Snarfer". To copy any feed into Evernote all I have to do is double click to open original feed, select all (or highlight area required), right click and "send to Evernote". Works with v2.2 or v3.

Snarfer may be downloaded from http://www.snarfware.com/

Cheers,

Tom

Thanks for the suggestions, but I am hoping to be able to get full-text RSS updates sent to me so that basically anything I starred/shared in Google Reader I would then have access to locally via Evernote (even when I am offline and unable to double-click to view the original item)...

I setup a free account with FeedBlitz and set it up to email me updates for my shared Google Reader Items, and I received the email in my Gmail account (and I had a Gmail Filter pre-configured to forward Feedblitz' emails to my Evernote email address), and the email I received from Feedblitz looked absolutely perfect in my Gmail web interface, but the copy that was forwarded onto my Evernote email address did not contain any of the images that it should have (just empty square placeholders where the images were supposed to appear)??

Does anyone know if Evernote's email feature is able to properly receive/render emails with images inside of the email body (HTML formatted emails)?

Yes, although this depends on how well the origin follows the various email encoding standards.

I've now opted to use Feedburner for the purpose of emailing me my Google Reader Shared Items RSS Feed Content, and Feedburner is the defacto standard in the blog world...

I hope it works, or else I've reached the end of this little endeavor...

Yes, although this depends on how well the origin follows the various email encoding standards.

Can you be more specific as far as which "standards" have to be met in order for an item I've sent to my evernote email address via email to be accepted by evernote? I've setup feedburner to send my evernote email address my Google Reader Shared/Starred Items feed (aggregate of the two feeds using Yahoo! Pipes), but for some reason it's not making it through, and I get a no-reply automated message from evernote saying:

Email Subject:

Evernote message: Emailed note was not submitted

Email Body:

Evernote was unable to submit your note for the following reason:

Emailed note was received, but was rejected due to problems with the note itself, or your account.

As far as the "standards" you've mentioned...its sent in just about the most standard way possible, and I am able to receive the email using about half a dozen different email programs and also at a number of different email addresses, though its not being accepted by evernote...

What exactly are evernote's "Standards" for receiving email?

We're currently working on a bug with handling some HTML emails, which may be the source of your problems.

On the other hand, we've also seen emails that do not correctly encode the MIME mail messages according to Internet RFCs 1521, 2045, etc. The mailer bugs are usually small, but we need to work around them one at a time.
