May 268 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Cool!I'm subscribed to some twit shows but not windows weekly. Evernote is really indispensable for so many people, this is very interesting.I agree with his point about keeping a main master copy of your data in the cloud, it's very convenient. Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,147 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Level 5 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Over the weekend, Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows posted an explanation on why he is using Evernote now.The article is copyrited, so I'll just offer the link. Be sure to scroll down to the section "Why Evernote"http://www.winsupers...-writing-141902 Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,117 Posted January 16, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted January 16, 2012 JB, thanks for sharing this article. It is very interesting. I'm not sure I would call it a "love-fest" as this impiles (to me) an irrational devotion not necessarily based on the facts. Actually he has a very well thought out methodology, has test various tools, and arrived at selecting Evernote on a very rational basis. One interesting point: Thurott is all about using the best tool available. For him, today that is Evernote (with still some use of Word). But he states that he would "absolutely consider switching" to OneNote or Office Web Apps if they fix the one or two issues that are deal-breakers for him. Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,147 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Level 5 Share Posted January 17, 2012 JMichael, yes, his written post on Saturday is more reserved than the original podcast on Jan 5 where two of the hosts expressed their love for Evernote.Considering his blog is called the Supersite for Windows, I can understand why he would mention the possibility of switching to OneNote.
