The stuff in your Twitter stream is fleeting, but there’s a lot being shared out there that’s worth remembering. Depending on how many people and brands you follow, you’re likely to see a lot of updates in your stream that you may not want to forget, but just don’t have the capacity to efficiently capture. Let’s go over some of the things you may want to grab from your Twitter stream and save to Evernote — and some of the apps that help you do this in a very seamless way.

9 things to capture from your Twitter stream

Here are just a few ideas for the kinds of tweets you might want to send to your Evernote account:

Deals and offers: stores and websites will often tweet discount and promo codes — keep them organized in Evernote
Restaurant and other service recommendations: don’t ever have that “what was that restaurant I heard about?” moment again
Links to articles: a lot of people use Twitter to share content — don’t lose links to articles you might want to read later
Job notifications: if you’re on the job market and follow recruiters and HR professionals, capture tweets about new job openings and opportunities you might want to pursue
Tech reviews: follow technology sites and influencers and save tweets about reviews for products you might want to buy
Customer service interactions: take note of customer service interactions you have to follow up on later
Crowd-sourced feedback: if you have a robust following, use Twitter to gather crowd-sourced feedback and save it all to Evernote
Events: don’t miss out on events shared via Twitter — save tweets with links to event websites to Evernote; tag them with ‘events’
DIY tips: use Twitter to help you learn something, and keep it for reference in Evernote

Make your Twitter stream even more useful to you with several Trunk integrations that let you send Tweets to your Evernote so you can find them anytime. Connect your social stream with your memory stream and extend the value of tweets you see in the moment.

Send your tweets to Evernote with @myEN

You can send your Twitter messages directly to Evernote with @myEN. You can do this by following myEN on Twitter. The account will follow you back and send you a DM with a link that you can use to sign into your Evernote account and connect to your Twitter account. You can read more about how to make @myEN work for you here.

I use the rss feed from my twitter page and feed it into ‘rss to email’… gives me a daily backup into Evernote.
- Pavel Miksa
  
  How you did it? I cannot find the way how to get rss from my twitter.
  - Jane D.
    
    Pavel, to find this, I went to Google reader (or you could use another reader). I added a new subscription, as http://twitter.com/#!/mytwitterusernamehere and when I did, Google reader translated it to the actual feed, but to see that, I had to click on “manage subscriptions” at the lower left of the Google reader page. Then I could see the feed: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/NNNNNNNNN.rss
    [where the "NNN" is a long number - I think it's your Twitter user number].
- Jane D.
  
  Hi Chris, are you using an app to do this (the rss to email part)? Or something within Twitter or Evernote?

I got tweetAgora a while back when I found the “send to Evernote” feature on it. I love it.

I use Twipple and have been very pleased with the app and my ability to either email or send tweets directly into Evernote.

Great list! Also take a look at @ifttt a cool webservice that can detect a lot of information in your Twitter stream and create notes in Evernote. For instance when I favorite a tweet the tweet is adde as a note in Evernote.
- Jenny
  
  I use IFTTT to append my tweets, mentions and retweets to Evernote too. It’s an excellent complementary tool to Evernote.

Actually, When I found useful tweet, I make RT wit DM to @myEN with this format ie: “D @myen @somebody Evernote is good http://evernote.com” then, my friendly myen carry it to my evernote account. Don’t need change your favorite twitter account!

I use Echofon, as well as the official Twitter app, but this method would work on any app that supports emailing Tweets. If I see a tweet that I want to keep/add to Evernote, I use the ‘email this Tweet’ function and send it to a contact I have set up which contains my personalized Evernote email address. It’s literally a couple of taps. If you want to get fancy you can add commands/tags to the subject line to send it to a particular notebook or add tags. Easy.

I’ve been trying the ifttt.com beta and it’s going to handle this particular function automatically. I’m already auto-saving certain Tweets by people to it.

I use twidroyd on my HTC Android, I can share a tweet straight into evernote. simple.

I use InstaPaper to save tweets for later review, if they warrant retaining for reference or work I then save them to Evernote from there – this stops too much crud going into my Evernote account!
- Bojan
  
  I am doing the very same thing!
WatOno

When I find something that I want to clip from my timeline, I simply click on the “favorite” and have blogtrottr capture the favorites rss and send it to my Evernote.
I also take daily backups of my tweets via twieve (Japanese.)
