Sharing information can make productivity far more easy, not just for yourself but for other people in your organisation. At vnunet.com, we use a content management system (CMS) which enables us to upload images. However, we don’t need four different images from Mozilla Firefox. If we need to put up a news article on Firefox, we simply search for relevant images, attach, publish. Saves the effort of duplicating images across various articles.
However, you could apply this technology to your own work. Even better, if you could find a tool that would enable you to synchronise your notes, images and thoughts across different desktop computers, irrespective of operating system, even better.
Evernote is both a desktop application and an online portal for storing and accessing your notes and other important information. Simply add notes, images and thoughts to the Evernote application and these will be synchronised with your online account. Launch Evernote on another computer, sign-in to your account and the notes will be synchronised back to the new Evernote. This is irrespective of whether you’re running Evernote on Windows or a Mac.
We’re hoping the developers go one stage further and enable you to share some of your notes with other Evernote users, much like the facility to share your music through iTunes or your documents via Google Documents. It would be good if you could use Evernote to store information which could be used by other people, as well as your own work. Much like your own CMS.
Note the download here is for the Mac edition. A Windows version is available.

Evernote 3
I am not too sure that your complaint of not being able to share notes with others is valid. You can have more than one Evernote database and share any data base you care to share by giving out the password for that database. I have used Evernote for over two years and depend on several facets that you did not mention. It is true that the interior applications that you did not mention are not in the free version of Evernote but I doubt that the application that you are using and comparing Evernote with is free either. The idea of being able to search illustrations, pictures and hand writing for key words in Evernote may equal or go beyond what your application will allow you to do. If a picture of a street shows many stores all with their own signs on the street and on their glass store fronts, any of the words in the picture can be used as a search term to find that picture in an Evernote database (paid and trial versions only). This is an example of one feature (in the paid version of Evernote) not mentioned in your writeup. I would agree with your approach of not mentioning features in the paid version of a program in a writeup on the free version of the software. But I believe that you introduced a paid version of your application and compared it with the free Evernote. Please compare apples with apples - to wit free software with other free software.
