Sharing Google+ to Evernote

It is no secret that I love Evernote.  I use it to keep track or and remember all kinds of things. On of my favorite things to do is come up with new ways to use it.  Having that secret email address is a wonderful thing and makes it dead simple to save off link shares from Google+. You may not  yet be using Google+ but you will be soon so here is how to get this done:

  • Open Evernote and click Tools –> Account Info
  • Here you will see your special evernote email address, copy it down (hint: right click on it and click copy)Evernote
  • Now go to Google+ and, under ‘In your Circles’ on the right, click ‘view and edit’
  • Click on the first circle on the left to create a new one
  • Name your Circle Evernote or some other short name
  • Click ‘Create Circle with 1 member’

Now, when ever you want to save something to Evernote you simply share it with that one Circle.  This has Evernote2the side benefit of also having all these articles in your Evernote Circle on Google+ kind of like a bookmark but also letting you share them with your larger audience after you read the article and find it worth sharing.

    Ok, this works…but is there a way to send it to a specific notebook or add evernote tags?

    @JimG, I tried a couple methods and couldn’t get notebook addressing to work. At least the information is preserved in Evernote but sending it direct to a notebook would be nice.

    Here’s how you do it…

    Create folders in DropBox that reflect the Notebooks you want to send G+ artifacts to. Use an email service that integrates with DropBox (i.e., SendToDropbox.com) and set up an address for each Circle -> DropBoxFolder -> EvernoteNotebook you want to send stuff to. Then setup Evernote to sync the DropBox folders into the Notebooks. Done.
