As I was looking around the top Web 2.0 winner, I was in shock by how many of the website I have never heard of before. There are tools out there that can do anything and everything and they are not even that well known. I was also shocked by how much Google had to offer. In just about every category, Google had something special to give, and once again, I have never heard of it. After looking around some I found this website called Evernote. It is Amazing!! I already created an account and downloaded it to my computer, just so I can always have it at hand. You can also download it on a phone in an app form. Evernote allows its uses to be able to take notes in your account and be able to see those notes on any computer, phone, or device that you sign back into. It also allow its users to save pictures you saw on a website or upload a picture you might have saw in a maize to your account, so you can always see your ideas. Another thing it lets you do is save web pages, so you can go to them when ever you want too. I think in a class room where students are able to use computers or ipads to take notes, this would be a great tool. If you download the program (it’s free!) you do not have to have internet connection to see the notes you took earlier. As students can take notes in class with there lap top, go home and study still being able to use there notes. Teachers could also use this as a to do list or take after Pinterest and same all there ideas on to Evernote. This is a great Web 2.0 tool and I can not wait till I start to really see all it’s benefits.

I love Evernote too. I found this website doing our 23 things project and I'm absolutely in love with it. Evernote makes life as a college student so much easier I really enjoy using it.
