Evernote tops Yahoo for online note-taking , by Anick Jesdanun, AP via Globe and Mail (Jul 24)
Describes usefulness of a web-based note-taking system.
The Web-based note-taking services, on the other hand, let you zero in on specific passages and entries within a website. The programs also let you keep a copy of information in case it disappears from the original site. And the collections are stored online and can be shared with friends.I can see using them to keep track of summer events, hobbies, nutritional advice and more, replacing my clunky system of e-mailing myself tidbits or storing them on documents I'd never find later.
Began with Yahoo's Search Pad but found limitations in saving results and links. Evernote had much more functionality in file types and notes.
