Most Popular Note Taking Application: Evernote


If you're looking for a utility or service that can help you keep your notes for school or work organized, you have plenty of options. Some apps help you organize and file everything you jot down, while others are designed to help you get your thoughts out of your head quickly. Last week we asked you which app or service you prefer for taking notes, and then we examined the top five and put them to a vote. Now we're back to highlight the winner.

Evernote fought off the competition to take the top spot, winning the poll with close to 37% of the vote. Hot on its heels in second place (and only falling behind in late voting) was good old pen(cil) and paper with 33% of the votes cast. In third place with 18.5% of the vote is Microsoft OneNote. Bringing up the rear in fourth and fifth place are Springpad and Simplenote with 6.75% of the vote and under 5% of the vote respectively.
