The "Optional" Part
That's important. Lots of strong negative reactions to the idea of archiving everything, or not forgetting.
But Evernote is optional. You don't have to record anything, nor do you even have to think about recording everything.
I like the idea of being able to securely and privately capture things that are a hassle for me to keep track of. I'm not sure yet if Evernote is right for me, because I'm pretty paranoid about putting an intimate personal portrait of my mind into the hands of someone else.
But I sure as hell intend to try it and find out.
My hope is that it'll be an easy way to make notes to myself about things I see/hear/read about and don't have immediate time to investigate. I live in NYC, and there's so much going on that I end up seeing hints of things and not following up because I forget relevant details. Evernote looks like it'd be good for that.
