I first learned about Evernote from reading about it on Lifehacker. Since then, I have tried various note-taking applications, web sites, and methods. Evernote keeps me coming back with it's wide variety of uses and tools.The Evernote web-clipper is extremely useful. I have used both the Firefox and Chrome add-ons as well as bookmarklets, and they work beautifully. You simply highlight the items you need to take note of for future reference, click on the add-on or bookmarklet, add a title and maybe a comment or two and voila, that's it. A fully searchable, taggable, linked note is in your notebook. Evernote can even use OCR to scan uploaded pictures and PDFs to allow any text contained therein to be found in searches.
The desktop application also works wonderfully, allowing you to use hot-keys to control your note-taking is a very useful feature that I use quite often. Because my Evernote account has everything stored on the web, all of my instances of the service remain in sync. If I wanted to take a note while on a smart-phone, I would be able to retrieve and interact with it from my desktop application or on the website almost immediately.
Some common uses for my Evernote account:Shopping Online
