Did You Know You Can Write Evernote Notes Through Twitter?

Today I’m sharing a neat trick: writing notes directly on Twitter. I got the idea from Plurk. Lots of people like to reply “note” to Plurk posts when they come across gossip or news, so I started wondering whether notes and microblogging could be combined. After looking into it, I found that they can! The well-known Evernote offers a similar feature. Just follow its official Twitter account, and it checks your tweets and does the note-taking for you. Even if you don’t use Twitter, that’s fine. Several sites, including Facebook and Plurk, can sync their content to Twitter!

1. Syncing Your Twitter and Evernote

myEN will automatically follow you back, and it will send you a message (DM) on Twitter.

This step links your Twitter and Evernote accounts. Click [Link account].

At this point, your Twitter and Evernote accounts are linked. So how do you send messages to Evernote?

There are two ways. The first is to send a message to @myEN.

The second is to reply to myEN, and it will record your message in Evernote~

2. Unlinking Twitter and Evernote

1. Log into your Evernote account and select [Settings].

In the menu on the left, select [Twitter], then click [Remove Twitter account].

3. Final Thoughts

Overall, this feature still isn't good enough. There aren't many detailed settings. I think the development team probably assumed that fewer settings would make it easier to use, but I feel... If possible, it should at least support tags. It could also add a feature that automatically saves a URL as a PDF. I'd also like to see keyword-based note-taking, meaning notes get created whenever certain specified keywords are detected, rather than only through replies or direct messages as it works now. That's about my impression~ Still, it's been pretty useful!
