Thanks to Abhay for originally inspiring this blog post. I copied our IM conversation into my “blog drafts” notebook in Evernote. Then today my brother Erik was asking if I use Evernote. Which was rather funny, because I was able to copy the text from Evernote and email it to him. Thanks to my brother for asking about Evernote, it got me to go back and clean up the blog draft and post it here. Also, Erik was asking if Evernote and Google Drive are competitors.

I use Evernote to blend digital and analog workflows. I especially like using my Livescribe smartpen with Evernote. I’ll take notes using Livescribe’s Sky Wifi digital pen and Livescribe’s special paper, then wirelessly sync that content to Evernote. I’ve also used Evernote-branded Moleskine notebooks in which you use your cameraphone to photograph the pagers and upload them to Evernote. In both of these cases, Evernote will allow you to search your handwritten text.

Cool tips, Matt. Thanks for sharing! Question: Isn’t — or wasn’t — there a way to have Evernote notes published on a blog?
