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.

I’d really appreciate it if Evernote could offer it as well as in the web clipper extension for Google Chrome.

I would also love this. Right now my process involves opening the article’s web page from google reader, using the chrome web-clipper on article mode, and making adjustments. I just want to clip what I see in Google Reader. It’s already formatted nicely, and it should be very easy to locate with code.

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.
Adam
Also agree with this one. It’d be great to be able to send all my starred articles to evernote. Ideally every time I star an article, it would clip it automatically.

Adam, you can find a recipe to do this with a service called ifttt.

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.)..

Oh, it seems the problem has fixed. Thank you very much!

Fail to send item in Google Reader to Evernote via s.evernote.com right now!

Doesn’t work on iPad! Just opens Evernote in the App Store!

It doesn’t work!

It was kind of working good for me till I noticed that some pages that I sent had broken characters. It seems that it was Japanese using S-JIS as the encoding instead of UTF-8. All other pages even in Japanese worked as long as it was using utf-8 and not S-JIS. Is there any workaround for this? I would really like to know since it boosted my data collecting from Google Reader dramatically. Thank you

This tip is worth a gold. I still can’t figure out though, should I sent to Evernote or Instapaper first, since they’re both good!

Doesn’t work actually….
Stripes validation error report
Here’s how it is. Someone (quite possibly the Stripes Dispatcher) needed to get the source page resolution. But no source page was supplied in the request, and unless you override ActionBeanContext.getSourcePageResolution() you’re going to need that value. When you use a tag a hidden field called ‘_sourcePage’ is included. If you write your own forms or links that could generate validation errors, you must include a value for this parameter. This can be done by calling request.getServletPath().
Validation errors
Please fix the following errors:
“Premium Tip: Note history Evernote premium users get access to…” is not a valid Title.

Have you guys seen what Instapaper is doing with their “Read later” bookmark? This is really more of what I was looking for in this feature…
John Haining
Will you be fixing this? I still get:

I would rather it clip just the article. When it clips the entire article, I often have to scroll down and look at a bunch of stuff I don’t want before I actually read the article. The perfect layout would be if it just clipped the text and images to the note. Thanks.
Kevin Baggs
This would be more helpful if it were more like the clipper. After It has brought up the clip, there should be a button that simply says save and then closes the window. I don’t want to go to the clipped page or continue to notebooks. Just save and go.

How can I do the reverse of this???
I am doing a lot of web clips.Stuff that I find interesting. I want to share it with friends who don’t use evernote. But they cannot keep visiting the notebook just for this sake.
So if I can have a rss feed of my evernote notebook, each addition will update the rss and will update my friend’s google reader. won’t it be amazing. please tell me how to implement this feature
Andrew Sinkov
When you share a notebook and set it to “share with the world”, that notebook will generate an RSS feed that you can share.
