Google Reader now lets you send blog posts directly into Evernote. When you send a post to Evernote, we go out to the source page and clip the whole thing –that way you get everything, not just the bit that you see in Reader.
Why I love this feature
A lot of my web life can be broadly classified as research: recipes, drool-worthy gadgets, lifehacking ideas, articles to read, etc. Much of that stuff enter my consciousness through Google Reader. The usual workflow is something like–see an interesting post, go to the blog, clip it into Evernote for later, return to Reader. Now, I can do everything without leaving Reader. Awesome.
Super simple setup
Sign into Google Reader and click on the Settings link at the top of the page, then click on the “Send To” tab. Next, click “Create a Custom Link” and enter the following:
- Name: Evernote
- URL: http://s.evernote.com/grclip?url=${url}&title=${title}
- Icon URL: http://www.evernote.com/favicon.ico
And you’re done!
What happens next
When you click your shiny new Send to Evernote button, a new tab will open asking you to sign into Evernote (if you haven’t done so recently), and to, optionally, select the destination notebook and add tags.
A little note
The results you will see are identical to clipping whole webpages using any of our web clippers, which means that you’ll get the content you want and some of the webpage element, too.

When I try to configure in Reader the send to Evernote, it says that the URL
http://s.evernote.com/grclip?url=${url}&title=${title}
is not valid. Shoul I change any of the parameters?

If you happen to use Fever (http://feedafever.com/) instead of Google Reader, you can add Evernote to the sharing shortcuts by:
* Click on Fever menu > Select Preferences
* Click on the Sharing tab
* Click the plus (+) symbol to add a new sharing service
* Type Evernote in the Service name field
* Put the following URL in the Service URL field:
http://s.evernote.com/grclip?url=%u&title=%t
* Set a hotkey / keybaord shortcut for the service (I use “n”)
Save that and you’re off to the races.

This is handy, however, is there any possible way that I can clip the article and only the article that’s shown in my google reader? For sites such as the gawker, as I use this it also clips the layout and images that are part of the page itself, but not the article that I’m focusing on.

Thank you for this great update.
There’s one crucial thing regarding goolgle reader > evernote I would like to see in a next version though.
After browsing the internet for a few minutes I couldn’t even find any script/help how to integrate eg starred items from greader to evernote. please, change this as there are soooo many starred items but I don’t wanna go through all of them click by click.
Thank you.

It was pretty good until yesterday, but I noticed that the feature suddenly came to fail. The website appears after attempt to send posts from GR to Evernote looks like something for internal use of your company (Evernote Corp.)..
