Evernote Trunk: Less Than Hoped For, But A Nice Addition

Unfortunately, none of what I was hoping would be in the latest release has come about yet; namely the ability to share notebooks via the desktop and mobile apps (and social sharing!). What Evernote did announce was Evernote Trunk, a central repository for API-connected services and devices.

Shelfster vs Evernote — Well, Sort Of

Shelfster vs Evernote | Online, Offline Note Taking, Note Sharing We are obvious Evernote fans here at 40Tech – but that doesn’t mean we aren’t open to other options! Recently we were contacted by the good folks at Shelfster, and asked if we might be interested in doing a review on their “application which allows you to easily organise and share with others your favorite information from the web, offline documents or real world”. They even provided us with 10 invitations to their private beta for our readers! We took their app for a spin, and found that Shelfster is pretty cool, overall. Have a read through and let us know what you think in the comments.

The first 10 comments with a raised hand will get the invite link.
