We did get Evernote installed on two of our library's computers and Patty and I spent our Tech Thursday experimenting. The website itself walked us through the basic steps, but we found that any deviation was by no means intuitive.
I spent a frustrationg half hour attempting to download a desktop picture until Patty unleashed the right click button. We had both assumed that the picture would automatically appear. Same with Patty's camera. She took a cell phone picture of me, sent it to her special evernote email and it took a long while for us to track down where it actually landed. Something a computer geek would just "know."
Every spring we hatch chicks in the Children's section and this year we got high tech with a webcam. Parents and kids soon became addicted and were losing sleep. We even went international with visitors from England--perhaps some were other CPD students. With the seamless way Evernote can integrate notes, photos and webcams and link onto facebook and twitter, we are hoping to put it to use next spring to enhance our chick viewing.
The sync capabilities are truly amazing--the hare's answer to the tortoise's little scraps of paper. Now I can see how Evernote can afford to offer limited free access. Limited will soon become just that--too restrictive for what you are tempted to do.
