I was very aware of this when I was travelling overseas without a laptop. I use <a href="http://www.treepad.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>Treepad</b></a> to store text and images that I may need for quick reference. The programme is small enough to fit (with the data you enter) on a USB thumb drive. In other words, you don't need the Internet - you only need to be able to pop the USB into someone's computer. <a href="http://www.apgen.org/directory/search_detail.html?mbr_id=279" rel="nofollow">Jan GOW</a> has created some templates for entering family history data into Treepad.Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730547717403140047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728509094770344156.post-43939656305856450282014-02-22T13:29:04.913+00:002014-02-22T13:29:04.913+00:00I am really going to have to think about Evernote....I am really going to have to think about Evernote.

I love Evernote. <br /><br />I used to use Zootool as well (but it's closing in March - warning to any other users) and still use Diigo to store web pages, mainly because otherwise I'd go over mt free Evernote limit.<br /><br />But Evernote does so much more, as you say. I use it for images, clipping bits of web pages, writing notes and organising them all with notebooks and tags.<br /><br />I just wish it could be easier to add tags. Too many clicks, too fidlly. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887809153719564522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728509094770344156.post-23498358321624765082014-02-11T21:00:44.069+00:002014-02-11T21:00:44.069+00:00I will have to look at OneNote, I haven't expl...I will have to look at OneNote, I haven't explored its uses. Evernote is great though. When I am researching a family name and the area the lived in, I love to randomly search the net to collect all the bits an pieces that give me a little more back ground, ie what happen around the time the lived, food, employment, politics etc and I clip all these into my family note book for later reference. Mind you I collect a lot more than I write about, guess it is part of the learning process.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747734897778712396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728509094770344156.post-89399692337663872722014-02-11T20:55:19.908+00:002014-02-11T20:55:19.908+00:00Thanks Yvette, you must share your experience as I...Thanks Yvette, you must share your experience as I am sure you will discover some uses that I haven't .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747734897778712396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728509094770344156.post-81379193210776937142014-02-11T19:30:39.428+00:002014-02-11T19:30:39.428+00:00This is a wonderful and very useful post!

I've been using it for a while, mainly to capture Web pages (or the relevant part of a page) for future reference. This has been invaluable because some of those pages are no longer online (and not in the Internet Archive). I don't have a smart phone, iPad etc, but for those who do, Evernote must be even more exciting. I can see its potential for a research trip.

I prefer OneNote which is part of the Microsoft suite and comes as part of Office 365. I blogged about OneNote last September - http://anglersrest.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/tuesdays-tip-embracing-onenote.html<br /><br />That said, I also have an Evernote account and use it, primarily for archiving emails - http://anglersrest.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/tuesdays-tip-evernote-and-saving-emails.html and http://anglersrest.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/tuesdays-tip-update-more-on-evernote.html<br /><br />In terms of collaboration I have a Evernote notebook that I shared to one of the other authors on this blog in relation to a one name study. In a similar vein another fellow Guild of One Name Studies member shared his notebook with me and I saw potential to sharing random notes and things with researchers with surnames and places etc.<br /><br />Like you I have a delicious account, but find that since it has merged with Yahoo I really do not really like it. I therefore moved across my book marks to OneNote. <br /><br />Both Evernote and OneNote Synch with my iPhone and iPad, which I love. As genealogists, often researching in other locations, such as overseas we are tending to be creative about how we use this on-line avenues and we really are limited by our imaginations.<br />Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.com
