Thanks so much for the honorable mention on your site! I thought it might be helpful for your readers to see a very comprehensive chart I put together comparing the two services. I’d enjoy getting your feedback of what you all think: http://wp.me/ptgV6-bf.

Say I have a notebook called ‘training’ I might tag those for one particular day’s training ‘datajournalism’ and another day’s ‘seo’ so I can only look at one or the other if I need to. Does that make sense?

Great piece.
Question: How exactly do you ‘use tags to differentiate between sub-projects within a notebook?!
How do you word the tags?
Thanks. Basic I’m sure!

Good point Cleland, thanks – personally I use it as a backup tool with the originals in other places.

Make sure you back it up – journalists may have to produce their digital records if their publication is sued or prosecuted. I find most are very good at retaining their paper notebooks, but not so good at keeping, and protecting, stuff like IMs, emails and other digital information.

Thanks – it’s using it on the app (where there are no shortcuts) that is particularly frustrating.

One tip I can give you for switching to notebooks is using keyboard shortcuts. I think the one that helps most in this case is shift+tab. For the others check out http://bit.ly/gO2rFd.

Well I never got into a regular habit with Evernote, so could be.

I like the sound of this. Could this replace Evernote?
