Evernote and Egretlist

Media_httpwwwmacstori_yjaxi

Apparently I missed this one... But Evernote is generally pretty quiet about its acquisitions. I've used Egretlist in the past, and it was almost a perfect solution for me. Unfortunately, it appears that the app doesn't currently work with iOS 5.

I love what Evernote did with Evernote Food and Clearly. The fact that they release separate "helper" apps instead of trying to cram it all into one big, fat, resource hogging mega-app means people can just pick and choose what functionality they need/want.

No word on when an update will be provided, but I have a feeling that when it does come out, it will be full of awesomeness.

Evernote for Mac Update

I haven't been paying attention, apparently. Evernote for Mac (and Windows) got an update yesterday and there's one important added feature: The ability to create links to individual notes. This lets you spin a perfectly intertwined web of knowledgy note-ness. Kinda like a wiki on your desktop.

From Evernote:
You can paste that link into just about anything—other notes, calendars, to-do lists, third party apps, etc. Whenever you click on the link, it’ll open the note. If you Shift+Click (Windows) or CMD+Click (Mac), it will open the linked note in its own window. We’ve already updated the Web, iOS and Android versions of Evernote to support this feature, so if you click a note link in those environments, it’ll take you to the right place.

How awesome is that?

You can now copy notes, as well. Why is this cool?
Create note templates
Note copying gives you the ability to create templates for notes. If you have a specific note layout that’s ideal for, say, gardening or accounting, then make a copy of it. We also give you the option of applying the tags and created date of the original note to the copy.

I've been wanting to create templates for projects, craigslist postings, etc. Now I can.

I also dig the "snippet view" more than the previous "mixed view".
