This deal expires January 11th.As we continue to improve our products and services, we're also making it easier to understand which subscription plan is right for what you want to accomplish. All it takes is 10 takers and my invitations are gone. I’ll pick the first 10 email addresses and those folks get a free ride. When you leave the anonymous message, you’ll have to provide your email address to the system (which I will see) but none of it will show up on the ‘public’ website (that the world sees). In the link below (immediately under this item), find this item on Brigada and leave an *anonymous* message saying you’d like the free premium trial run. (Still a deal!) But if you want, they’ve given me 10 free invitations (I know - Christmas what can I say) so I can ‘invite’ 10 people to free premium months. But there are some advanced features (including the PDF scanning capability) that are called “Premium” features and they set you back something like $25 a year. For more info on Evernote, or to use the free version, check out…

Any time you forward a PDF, Evernote ‘reads’ it and recognizes the characters on the entire PDF! … which means, it now becomes incredibly accessible to you for whole-text “needle-in-a-haystack” searches. You can forward an email into your own account of Evernote - and wait, there’s more.

You can use a website to access your stuff, or run a program like an application on your laptop. (Alas, I’m mixing my metaphors.) There are iPhone apps, and even apps for Windows Mobile (it’s about time!).

It’s one of those grass-catcher programs that lets you throw everything into the hat… then forget about it ’til you search for it later. These past few months, I’ve been using a cool resource called Evernote.
