Evernote web interface updated with better sharing, cleaner look

Evernote web interface updated with better sharing, cleaner look

We’re huge fans of Evernote here at the Engadget compound (it’s great for keeping track of our latest world domination schemes). But, we’ve got to admit, the web service is clearly the company’s red-headed step child. The desktop and mobile apps are undeniably top-notch, but the webapp is just sort of there. Being able to edit your notes and share them from any browser is a great feature, but we wouldn’t exactly call it an enjoyable experience. Today the company took the wraps off a revamp that should ease the pain a bit. Evernote is particularly proud of its new shared note design, that offers a much more attractive and interactive look at entries. You can reshare notes, enter a slideshow view or copy it to your own account. The broader redesign is subtle, but refreshing. There are new icons, some color changes and a tweaked top bar that lend a less cluttered feel without removing functionality. There’s even a handy button that collapses the sidebar for those of you rocking smaller laptop screens. We also noticed that the new interface seems to load notes with multiple images much faster. You can read about it straight from the horses mouth at the source or just go to the Evernote homepage and check it out yourself.

Apple iCloud adds iOS-style notification bar, Notes and Reminders web apps

Apple iCloud adds iOSstyle notification bar, Notes and Reminders

The iCloud’s web interface has been updated with a new drop-down notification bar. Alongside badge notifications, it offers up browser-based notifications across Mail, Calendar, Reminders and Find My Phone — which still remains powered by Google Maps, for now. An earlier update also bundled Notes and reminders into the web app, both mimicking the looks of their iPad versions. Now we just need a big enough reason to keep iCloud‘s site constantly open.

[Thanks Austin]

Evernote Moleskine Smart Notebook Makes Digitizing Notes Easy

While you can take plenty of notes with laptops and tablets, it’s still convenient to be able to note stuff down in a notebook with a pen. If you’ve ever wanted to easily digitize everything that you jot down, take a look at the Evernote Moleskine Smart Notebook. It’s been designed so that you can easily transfer it to your smartphone.

The Evernote Moleskine Smart Notebook works in tandem with the Evernote app and it allows you, once you’ve snapped a photo of your notes, to quickly digitize them. This means that the text and notes can be searched through easily. The paper is specially formatted for use with the app to ensure the best quality scans, and you can tag pages and passages with Smart Stickers and arrows. It’s definitely an interesting way to minimize your footprint, if you don’t want to lug your laptop to class when taking notes (or doodling.)
