Very Cool Application

In my work and also my personal life, I use a mac and many different applications, our company likes to think about IT differently (guess who came up with that tagline!). We are always looking for new pertinent solutions which are truly cross platform.

As many people who know me will tell you, I love all things Apple, I just cant help it. The attention to design, the technology, the 'sexy' factor is so carefully woven into everything the company does, even down to the packaging! Now before I go any further at this point, one thing I want to say, I am not one of these 'new' Apple fan boys, I have been actively using a Mac for work since 2000 - and yes it was possible to live in a Windows world with a Mac even with a PowerPC processor Mac.

Its not often, that I come across something that's truly different in the software world - the first time I did it was many years ago with Lotus Notes, which ran across multiple platforms and indeed still does today. Notes was something completely different that still ticks so many boxes relevant today . . . .

However, I am getting off the point for this post - I have been playing around with a new product called Evernote, its VERY cool, it runs on anything and best of all its FREE.

Essentially, this software allows you to capture snippets of information, text, web page, sound, video, pictures and then store these random pieces of information in a web service in the sky which is accessible through a fat client on Windows or Mac, a browser, or even a mobile device like a phone - it looks cool on the iPhone! Check out the demo introduction video and see some of the stuff it can do. I have been totally impressed with it.
