Thanks for sharing how to do this. Lots of people use Evernote to stay in touch with family and friends, study and organize their work life. If they are using their desktop computer or phone, they don't lose track of anything. For different reasons, it is convenient to be able to have more than one device to log into and able to access information away from home.

Re: StumbleUpon trips up users with CAPTCHA

TrumpCanDoNoWrong — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:43:13 -0000

I was able to register with Stumbleupon. And, downloaded the toolbar for Firefox so I could suggest websites to be added to stumbleupon. However, when clicking the, "I like it" button, I'm met with a captcha. Even though I've entered the letters / numbers correctly numerous times, I can't get past the captcha. Hello, Stumbleupon - your captcha can't read it's own letters....

Re: CloudNotes: Using your “real name” is not revolutionary.

Yaniv Liron — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 23:23:39 -0000

One of the best postings I've seen. It has a much wider impact, even more than described in it.

It's all about choice. People are learning not to expose more than what they want or would like to. This will lead to the next revolution which will be the "privacy revolution", if you will.

The outcome of the revolution will be the world just like it is described in many Sci-fi films. Cameras everywhere and I mean everywhere, face-recognizing-personally-customized digital billboards and posters all around you; Tracking chips that know where everyone is (they figured that statistically this has prevented more crime than every other method could have ever prevented, by orders of magnitude) and health devices will monitor every living body from within and call for help or self-treat if necessary. Searching for criminals and even traffic offenders through aggregated video footage in volumes we have not even imagined before. Enter a name, find his face and where he was yesterday. As simple as that. Would the huge amounts of data involved be not personally identifiable? I doubt it. Like it or not, it's coming. And what we see here is the seed of the conflicts that will arise during the way.

The public, few generations from now, will be so used to social networks' exposure (as they were born into it) that to them, looking back 100 years at us, it will seem funny that there were people who were frightened about the so-called apocalyptic effect...
Just like we look back at people who opposed cars when they first started. I can't tell you I know for sure that people opposed cars - but my guess is that there were some that did.

Moving forward is positive. It has its victims every time - car accidents, cell-phone related problems, internet-related problems. Does someone remember, that in the first years of the internet, when people started hearing about pedophile attacks through the internet chat rooms or what have you, they cried "Shut down the internet"?
Go ahead, shut it down, will ya. Not even close to that. Oh, we put an "I am over 18" checkbox when entering adult websites. That oughta scare the kids way.But you know what? They figured, again, that the internet had so much positive impact it totally outweighed the negative. It saved lives, connected people, created a whole division of economy, made public and private services efficient, provided entertainment - the list hasn't even started yet. Measures have been and will be put in place. It works. After all - it works.

Change brings about it opposition, and that opposition respectably plays its important role, which it should. Just like the opposition in government, its role is to balance the main steering. But just balance. Slightly.
Balancing means that due to the pressure from the radicals, which are wrong in one way but actually help on the other, some safety nets are placed. Only people who should be able to access private data will be allowed to use it, and with restrictions, policies and high tech. Logging of each activity (watching the watchers) with a "checks and balances" type of security or any other way to do it - it doesn't matter. It really doesn't. When the human kind wants to find a solution to a problem it finds it. In this chapter: "How to secure the sensitive data but still make good use of it in order to prevent crime, illness and other bad things we hate?". I assure you they will find the solution. Maybe the kid hasn't even been born yet.
We should (sometimes) listen to the privacy advocates, but take everything with a grain of salt.

Re: Zotero: The best notetaking / bookmarking hybrid you’re not using

Alistair — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 17:41:46 -0000

I have uninstalled zotero because originally used Jeteye, which stores all links you want to save in a self-organised structure, but only links. Then I found scrapbook which is much superior, and it also saves links/bookmarks. It appears Zotero saves complete pages by default and I found no method of saving collections of urls/bookmarks which to me is most useful as a designer/web programmer. Collections of full pages are wasted space to me, but also scrapbook does that as well. Also, I found scrapbook to be more attuned to my search requirements than zotero. So in my case, I find scrapbook far superior to zotero!

I just published an extension for adding tags to bookmarks in Chrome because I wanted them for some research I am doing. It's the first release of the extension so isn't as pretty as it will be in the future but I'm looking for feedback...

Re: New Evernote release: Smartly done Delicious importing

Christoph Diefenthal — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 15:51:25 -0000

You can even use both: delicious and evernote, if you do not want to leave delicious behind.
Use the new ifttt.com (if this than that) to create a simple trigger to add delicious links to evernote.
It's pretty cool!

Here you go - Evernote's official instructions: http://blog.evernote.com/20...

Edit: Okay, so it's not a real import... It's just copying the content of your html file (exported from delicious) and pasting it into a note, like you could do a million other ways. Tags won’t be carried over either

Re: New Evernote release: Smartly done Delicious importing

James Cormack — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 10:53:38 -0000

Same here, I'll let you know if I find another way

I've just signed up to EverNote in a bid to save my delicious bookmarks but it seems the import feature is no longer available. Any ideas why? Too much demand make it crash?

Good to see you back...some of the links are extremely new for me...couple of the links are most useful to me on daily basis...thanks a lot

Re: CloudNotes: Long time, no see

First, I don't really use Instapaper. I tried it, but I like Read It Later better. Today, I am mostly using the Starred items to save GR items for later. And I use the Share button all the time.

You do make a good point about the GR Note feature. I thought it shared all your stuff by default, but it appears you can toggle that on and off via the bookmarklet. Interesting. I can see how you might use GR as your all in one bookmarker.

As for Posterous, it's a blogging/sharing tool. I don't use it as a notebook or bookmarking tool.

Congrats on your son - and glad to see you back! I noticed a number of separate tools you use can actually be done by Google Reader if you use some lesser-known features. Assuming you've used Google Reader with every one of it's little hidden features - could you comment on what makes you still want to use so many different tools like Read it Later, Instapaper, Posterous, and Feedly (and maybe even some of the things Evernote is used for)? The features I'm referring to are:

Starred Items
Shared Items
Notes
"Note in Reader" bookmarklet

Google Reader is available on almost every platform - even a Kindle using the primitive Kindle browser - so anything in Google Reader can be read on just about any device (I wrote specifically about the Kindle example, here: http://www.filterjoe.com/20.... Using these features I listed above, I can do things like read my Starred Items anywhere, I can clip anything from the web into "Shared Items" with the "Note in Reader" bookmarklet and then read these items later (anywhere), I can make personal notes about an item, I can share with other people if I want, etc.

And all of this is of course very easy to search - this being Google.

I use Evernote but not Read it Later, Instapaper, Posterous, and Feedly. My use of Evernote is restricted to three categories of things:

1) Notes (or web pages) I'm collecting together when I'm researching a project

2) Scrap notes - notes I jot down that are not necessarily easy to categorize that in the past used to collect up into large piles and become inaccessible.

3) Reference web pages I might want access to when not connected to the web

If I want to clip a web page but it's not part of an ongoing research project - I'd rather throw it into Google Reader rather than clutter up my Evernote database.

What do you think?

Mauro Asprea — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 03:42:49 -0000

Great resources, thanks! OneNote and delicious a must-have. Will try Licorize and feedly

In the off chance you are still involved in this space, let me introduce you to Switchnode:

http://www.switchnode.com

This is a proof of concept app that I developed recently which epitomises a philosophy of traditional UI design for web apps, which I believe is the future for web apps. It's presents the simplest interface possible for any note-taking app on the web, and this makes it very fast, very convenient, and very versatile.

Give it a try and let me know what you think at contact [at] switchnode [dot] com.

With the changes at delicous (esp the Yahoo sign in) I've moved my bookmarking to Blogger and hacked a template to suit. Blogger sucks (and delicous with Yahoo sign in is unoperational) on mobile devices like the ipad so I post bookmarks from there via email.Not so link friendly , but it surfices on Blogger.

My over view: Using Blogger for internet bookmarking and social tagging -- delicious not..

It's easy to set up automatic sharing on Twitter from Blogger but some hacking is involved if you only want to share some selected labels/tags.Nonetheless, from my own experience using Blogger as a bookmarking tool -- and I'm a Blogger blogger of long standing -- my surprize is that it could be a Web 2.0 great secret.

To share on Facebook for Blogger blogs I use NetworkBlogs and again you can hack the feeds to only share certain tags. Where delicious is ahead is the customized public/private selection per bookmark. But tag editing is so much easier on Blogger as is tag and content searching.I also find delicious page layout cumbersome and counter intuitive compared to what you can hack/design into place for Blogger.

I appreciate delicious tag bundle code but that can so often be cumbersome and doesn't always work.
