Evernote 3 moves from closed to general public beta testing

June 26, 2008 in Software | Permalink

It's a rare occurrence that you stumble across a genuinely useful tool. However, we believe that Evernote 3 is one of those tools that you can, realistically, use to share and synchronise information across various computers. We use it it store information about the software we plan to put up on vnunet.com. This includes interesting downloads, stuff we need to go back and revisit, logos, graphics and more. We can then use Evernote 3 to synchronise this information across our different computers, irresepective of their location (the synchronising is done across the Internet) and operating system.

If we're using Evernote 3 on a Mac, the same information will appear on our Windows-based work computer. The only snag or downside is that you can't share your information with other users. It would be superb if Evernote enables you to take some information and share that with another user's account. At the moment, you can only share info between your own accounts, unless you give someone access to your account (which we do, as we can't think of another way of sharing the info across between different users).

You don't need a need Evernote 3 installed on your machine to access your account. As long as you know your username and password, you can login to your online Evernote account to see the stored information.

Evernote 3 has reached public beta testing stage, so it's now open for anyone to open an account. The free version enables you to synchronise/upload 40MB of traffic each month, which should be enough for most users. If you need more traffic, you can choose to pay $5 for the premium service.
