Now you can send your tweets directly into Evernote. Why is this cool? Because Twitter is chock-full of great stuff. Your ideas, thoughts, and experiences mixed together with all of the content from the people you follow: journalism, storytelling, commentary, activism, even comedy –to quote Rob Corddry, “It’s the perfect joke-writing medium. If you need more than 140 characters then it’s not worth it.”
Thanks to the Evernote-Twitter integration, you can easily capture the tweets you like: your own or those showing up in your stream. Plus, as an added bonus, you can now send yourself a quick note right from Twitter –no need to do any of that pesky app switching. Here’s how…
Say ‘Hello’ to @myEN
Evernote now lets you send public Twitter messages, and private Direct Messages, right into your Evernote account for searchable, permanent safekeeping. It’s called myEN, and here’s how it works.
Setting up myEN
First, you’ll need an Evernote account. It’s free. Get yours now »
Follow myEN on Twitter (you will need a Twitter account)
myEN will follow you back, and send you a DM with a link
Click the link, sign into Evernote, and connect your Evernote and Twitter accounts
If you have a protected Twitter account, then do the following: follow myEN, accept myEN’s follow request, then send myEN a DM. After that, go to step 3 above.
How to use myEN
For Public tweets: Add @myEN to the body of any public tweet
For Direct Messages: Send a DM to myEN to create a new note in Evernote
Tip: Retweet something you like and add @myEN to save it into Evernote.
It usually takes under a minute for a message to show up in your Evernote account, depending on how Twitter is feeling.
SMS notes
Thanks to Twitter’s built-in SMS support, you will now be able to send notes into Evernote from any mobile phone, anywhere in the world. In the US, text message “d myEN [your note]” to 40404 (you will need a Twitter account to do this). Go here to see your country’s Twitter SMS number.
Tweets with Twitpics
A popular way to embed photos into Twitter messages is with Twitpic. If a tweet that you send to Evernote contains a Twitpic URL, a thumbnail of the photo will show up in Evernote along with a link to the original image. Nice.
API developers take note
This integration now adds Twitter to the, ever-growing, list of ways to interact with Evernote, and by extension your apps. Think about it. There are tons of great possibilities. Check out our developer section for more info.
We hope you like our Twitter integration. There’s lots more exciting stuff coming soon.
[Update: How fast is it?]
The speed with which your notes get into Evernote depends on how you send them and how bogged down Twitter happens to be at the time. Direct messages (DM) to myEN will almost always get into your Evernote account in a minute or two, while public @myEN replies can sometimes take 30 minutes. Either way, don’t worry, the tweets will be there by the time you need to remember them again.
Attention power users: The latest Evernote for Mac release (version 1.4) introduces a number of usability improvements that make interacting with Evernote significantly faster. In addition to better menus, we’ve also added lots of new keyboard shortcuts for everything from searching to creating new notes to making checkboxes.
Struck by a great idea while in the middle of another program? Just hit the new global New Note shortcut any time and a new note window pops up ready to capture your inspiration.
Global New Note shortcut: CMD+CTRL+N (can be changed in Evernote preferences)
New and improved search shortcuts
Bring up the main Evernote window and place the cursor into global search bar: CMD+Option+F
Perform in-note search: CMD+F
Find next/previous search results: CMD+G/CMD+Shift+G. This will even work for notes containing a mix of recognized text in images and regular text.
Other enhancements
New Search menu consolidates all search operations
Increased number of operations that have shortcuts
Evernote for iPhone gets its first major update in a few months, and it was well worth the wait. The latest release (version 2.0) introduces landscape support, thumbnail view, Favorites sorting, speed improvements, and lots of other enhancements. Update/install the latest from the App Store.
Landscaping
Evernote now supports landscape orientation for many of its application screens. This is particularly useful when creating or editing a note, as it brings up the spacious landscape keyboard.
Thumbnail view
Turn your iPhone on its side when in Notes View to launch thumbnails. This side-scrolling view is great for quickly scanning through your notes. Tap on a note to access it, or hold your finger on a note to get a quick zoom.
Sort your favorites
Evernote for iPhone now lets you change the order of your favorites. Go to Favorites, tap Edit, then press on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the note. When you do this, the note pops out, letting you move it to any position you like.
Embedded browser
There’s now an embedded browser within the app. Whenever you click on a link in a note, the browser will launch right inside of Evernote. This makes viewing web pages, and returning to your notes when you’re done, a whole lot faster and easier.
Lots of other improvements
In addition to the big things, we’ve also made a number of smaller (but no less important) enhancements
The application loads quicker
A nip here, a tuck there and the UI just became much more polished
Attaching a photo to a note is way speedier
Note geo-tagging is much more accurate
Improved support for favorites, including access to attached files
As always, we recommend giving you’re iPhone a cleansing reboot after upgrading to the new version of Evernote. Call us superstitious, but that just seems to make it work much smoother.
iPhone 3.0
Like many of you iPhone fans out there, we’re very excited about the recent iPhone 3.0 news. We have lots of ideas for ways to take full advantage of all the new capabilities. Stay tuned.
Evernote is improving our capabilities through partnerships like Twitter.
