Evernote: extend your memory beyond an elephant's.
Evernote is an interesting web service that stores all your notes, audio-notes, and snapshots and archives them for you. It then allows you to perform text search on them, even inside images. That is a really cool feature!
I've been using it with a camera-phone to quick and safely store my business card contacts. It could work better. Indeed, the iphone camera can't do macro shots nor focus properly, so I need to take extra care when taking shots. Still, sometimes, it doesn't seem to work. Below you can see a search I made for "Moura", a contact and good friend of mine.
I do hope these guys can improve their text-in-images searching algorithm; and when they do so, my life will be a lot more convenient!
BTW, I expect Google to either buy them or make its own text-in-image search engine.
