Evernote: Now a Business Card Scanner, Too

  • 0 min read

By Alyssa Gregory

It’s no secret that I have affection for Evernote. In fact, way back in 2010 I wrote a post for SitePoint on how I use Evernote to manage my blog post topic ideas. I have been using Evernote for years to collect writing ideas, organize my thoughts, collaborate on projects, and even as a multi-device tool for writing (I often use Evernote to sync draft articles across my devices to streamline my writing process and maintain access to articles when I’m out of the office).

Well, now Evernote has become even more useful with its business card scanning and LinkedIn syncing capabilities. Check out this quick video tutorial that shows you how to use Evernote to scan business cards:

With this functionality, Evernote has announced integration with LinkedIn that will automatically build a content-rich note around every business card you scan. With full contact information, a link to their current LinkedIn profile, and a photo, plus a section for notes, business cards become searchable contacts in Evernote. Talk about powerful networking tools!

For more on this functionality, read this blog post on Evernote. And come back and leave a comment once you’ve taken it for a test drive to let us know what you think.

People who deliberately pick up books outside the genre they already gravitate toward aren’t just diversifying a hobby; they’re giving themselves regular practice at understanding unfamiliar structure and vocabulary instead of relying on a comfort zone that stopped stretching them a while ago.

The older some people get, the shorter their messages become — and that isn’t always impatience, sometimes it’s the confidence to say only what they mean

“I don’t want to talk about it” doesn’t necessarily mean someone won’t communicate, psychologists who study a pattern known as normative male alexithymia have found many men are socialized from childhood to have a genuinely thinner emotional vocabulary to reach for, not a refusal to use the one they have.

Virginia’s mandatory one-hour daily limit on teen social media use was struck down by a federal judge less than two months after it took effect, and NetChoice’s First Amendment win over Virginia’s usage caps could stall similar bills in other statehouses that would have limited how publishers reach younger audiences.
