What Is Evernote?

Evernote is a set of software and utilities that is designed to aid in not taking and archiving of information. A “note” can be archived in many different mediums such as text, pictures, or audio. Media can also be attached to a note for safe keeping later on. Notes can be sorted into folders, then tagged, annotated, edited, given comments, searched and exported as part of a notebook feature. This makes it a great organization tool.
