Evernote: Now a Business Card Scanner, Too

  • 0 min read

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.

A boundary delivered without an explanation usually isn’t coldness — it’s someone who’s learned that the explanation is exactly what invites the negotiation they were trying to avoid

Someone who lets a frazzled stranger go ahead of them in line isn’t necessarily being generous — they’re picking up on small shifts in tone and posture that most people only catch when told to look for them

Psychology says older adults who scroll the most in the evening usually aren’t the loneliest people in the house. They’re often the ones who found it, quietly, the safest substitute they have left for calling someone directly.

Keeping the counter clear while cooking is partly a private habit and partly a quiet form of consideration — a way of leaving the kitchen usable for whoever moves through it next, without needing to say so out loud
