Evernote
Evernote updated their beta program today and I like it. Icons for categories, the ability to export my data and even back it up plus a bunch of bug fixes. It even lets me create new categories on the fly and add multiple categories (which they had in the previous version but less usable). Very nice indeed. I'm using it to collect clippings like recipes, pertinent paragraphs, essay, etc. I get a lot of email and sometimes I only need a paragraph and I don't want to wade through a large email with lots of replies to find the specific thing I want. I can copy and paste into Evernote and use its search feature to find it. It is one of my top tools. I could have used it a few years ago.
