    I'm using Evernote.

    I haven't had much opportunity to use it, other than household items...

    Looking forward to seeing what benefits it offers.

    I am going to check Evernote out since I've never heard of it, but I recently started a blog, and this topic fits nicely within it. 

    Check it out at http://www.nataliefordparker.com/blog.html

    I settled on Evernote.  I have used it to collect information before on a topic and it works on the different platforms I use (tablet/laptop).  I need to make a few notes on this task though.

    Hi all,

    I have a wordpress website and have made the promise to blog more this year so that sounds the ideal combination and reason to combine the two.

    My website is www.jonaudain.com

    I'm using a spreadsheet on google docs. :)

    I love spreadsheets!

    Leah MacVie said:

    I started using Google to track the TED talks I've watched last year. I set up a form that translates the info to a spreadsheet. It works really well- and might work for your needs here as well. :)

    At first I was going to use Google Docs, but then I decided to resurect a (mostly empty) blog I created as a grad school project. Here it is:

     E-Views

     

    It was fun to get it going, and it helped me to begin formulating my own opinions about badging!
