In The Weeds of Feeds: Evernote ᴙ0(k$

Evernote Rocks [ᴙ0(k$ - Sorry, a throw back to the o'l days] - So I've been trying out Evernote for a couple of weeks now and I have to say I really like this application. My definition of a great application has changed over the years and now requires at least 2 of the items below:

Multi-platform (Windows, OS X, Linux, Mobile)
Web browser component or accessible
Sync abilities
Freeware or Opensource

I ran across an article on Touchtip's site and I'm sorry I didn't share it in the feed weeds (in my defense because you had to sign up for an invite I probably choose not to share it); regardless I'm sharing it now because of how useful I'm finding the program.

First off it is available on Windows & Mac, has a web site which works like the desktop clients and it also has a bookmark component for your browser. It will sync everything between all the clients and lastly it is freeware.

The program is akin to say bookmarking sites that have sync abilities but is really taken to the next level. You can capture anything, save anything, bookmark anything, sync it, and have it available where ever you are. You create "notebooks" in which to organize items. You can even decide to keep some notebooks private and available only on the machine in which the content was created.

I have Evernote installed on an iMac G5 running Tiger, my Macbook Pro running Leopard, my Dell workstation running WinXP, and have the bookmark applets working on Safari 3 & FireFox 2 & 3 on OS X and FireFox 3 on Windows. I have even gone from my iPod Touch and everything is all in sync and available no matter where I'm located at the time (home, work traveling).

I find the interface for the desktop client more friendly and has more viewing options on OS X [a shocker to you I'm sure] but not to worry my windows friends as the web based version makes up the difference.

In these screenshots OS X is on the left & the web on the right. I cannot find a way to do thumbnail views on the windows client but otherwise the same functionality is there. I prefer the thumbnail view.
