The How I Use Evernote Video Project

During my vacation in Italy last July, I was addicted to the Evernote app on my iPhone. Fourteen days of wandering in the beautiful North Italian cities without being connected to the web gave me an incredible inspiration boost. I cherished all the new ideas in Evernote, a tool exactly developed for that purpose, and synced it with my Mac when I came home.

The last couple of months I haven’t used Evernote that much. Because of the 3G availability, I store my to-do’s in Things and post snap shots directly to Twitter. So much for Evernote?

Not quite, because the guys at Evernote HQ really know how to create an experience around their project. They send enthusiastic news letters with lots of tips and recently launched a project that might get me back to using Evernote.

Andrew asked all Evernote-fans to share the way they use Evernote:

They launched the project a few weeks ago (yes, I’m a bit late, I know) and received several video responses. Here’s one from Zoe:

Not only will these videos create an even better brand experience, it’s also really useful for users like me to get some more ideas on how to use the app.

I hope you like that post!

Nowdothis, maybe the easiest web 2.0 service ever

I am not a particular fan of GTD contextual todo lists, they make me grumpy and busy; instead I apply the just-on-time principle: I write down the five most important things in the evening on a paper, and try to accomplish that the next day. And with New York based Jakob Lodwick’s new web application now do this, I can put it online with ease.

Nowdothis.com is surprisingly simple, the online todo is environmental too. Simply go to the site, add the things you need to do in the list, and click “done” when you finish something. It works on any browser, including the Iphone. When you close the browser, your todo will be saved on your particular device/computer.

We have seen simple concepts as Tumblr, Twitter etc. to become highly successful. nowdothis is so simple and effective, that it’s an excellent example to many complicated websites out there. It might be the easiest web 2.0 service out there, what do you think?
