Twitter-to-Evernote Integration: Personal KM Flows

Capturing knowledge bits from your Twitter activity just became a little easier.

In the quest for hyper-productivity, we're always looking for ways to eliminate unnecessary keystrokes, tasks, login's, and high-friction processes. Twitter-to-Evernote is a good example of shaving off micro-slivers of time from your daily activities. Just include @myEN in your posts (public or private) and watch them magically appear in your Evernote account.

Below I'll be keeping a running list of cool ideas and new features for this new marriage of two great technologies.

Wish List...

  1. Imagine your hash tags (#) funnel your posts to specific Evernote folders of the same name.
  2. Imagine pushing content artifacts from Evernote to Twitter.
  3. It would be great to capture @username data with Evernote additions.

Cool Uses...

  1. Capture tweets that you need to reuse. This makes it possible to create a knowledgebase of helpful tweets that can be easily searched.
  2. Tweet archives. Few people know that the Twitter archive is [presently] capped at 3200 posts for every account. The ability to easily preserve select tweets makes it possible to break this limitation.
  3. Access to tweet content requires a connection to the Internet. Evernote can cache content locally. Using Evernote with Twitter allows you to carry local copies of importan tweet content.
  4. With billions of Twitter messages mounting up in search engines, finding specific posts will become increasingly problematic. Evernote can help you narrow the searches to things that are important to you.
  5. EN'd tweets offer a mechanism to create action-items. Have you seen a tweet and thought - I must revisit that later, and then you were unable to find it? Start by simply re-tweeting and add "D myEN" to the front of the post o capture it for easy access (and reminder) to follow up on it.
