Note Wizard (Salesforce + Evernote)
Evernote is a very cool and useful application for taking notes, saving web clippings and archiving images that represent notes (sometimes its faster to just take a picture). One really great thing about it is that it does OCR on you content (event the text in your images!) and makes it all searchable. I use it all the time and love it. It can be a bit of a novelty, but if you decide to really use it, you can get a lot of utility out of it.
What if you could save your Notes right into Salesforce? You can (only as Documents for now)! Coming soon is integration with standard and custom objects, which would let you do things like take a picture of a business card and import it into an Account/Contact combo. Maybe take a picture of a whitboard of notes and save it as an Activity.
Steve Buikhuizen has created the Note Wizard application. It’s definitely worth looking into. It’s an integration with Salesforce and Evernote all running on Amazon EC2 and S3!

Good work, Steve!

Very cool. We just did an integration with Evernote as well. So you guys are a third party that did an integration between SF and Evernote? Ambitious, but very cool. Kudos to you guys. I will tell my other company to check it out…we use SF there.
Check out what we did at: Http://www.pelotonics.com. I am addicted to using it now!
