Because Evernote rules and my memory drools, I’m content to wear Evernote’s cognitive-golden-handcuffs. I use Evernote only for reference filing. Many GTDfolk use Evernote to do their entire GTD system. Web Clipper and Evernote are short term memory substitutes and steroid injections. For example, web addresses that you can’t find when you need to share them, or pictures that might be great to include in a newsletter, or essays that really grab you and that you don’t want to forget. The reason to use Web Clipper is to avoid open loops that you can’t close. If you have an Evernote account, this exercise should acquaint you to why you need Web Clipper even though you don’t want to learn a new piece of web mumbo jumbo. Step 6: Sign in to Evernote the first time you click on Web Clipper Step 5: Click on “evernote web clipper” and then click on “+ ADD TO CHROME” and then click “Add” when Chrome asks you if you REALLY REALLY want to install Evernote Web Clipper. That is, the more of your short term memory that Evernote can trick you into outsourcing to it, the more likely Evernote has you locked up for all time as a customer.
In addition to Web Clipper Evernote has a number of other add-ons.Įvernote’s viral marketing strategy is to look like the host, not like the parasite.

The URL of the web page is stored in parallel with the snapshot, so you can always find your way back to the source page in three steps. The snapshot can be tagged as it goes in and you can select which notebook inside Evernote, that the snapshot is stored. Web Clipper is an add-in utility for Google Chrome (and FireFox) that allows you to take a snapshot of a passage of text, an entire web page, or a single graphic, and insert the snapshot into your Evernote archive. Never loose another web page is the gateway to capturing Web Clipper’s value. If you’ve ever promised to send a colleague a web page, and later you could not find the URL of the page, Web Clipper is for you. That is demand you have that you don’t know you have.
