G+_Anthony Elliott Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 What does Pocket do that Evernote does not? If I am reading something on line and I want to keep it I just clip it to an Evernote Folder. Is there something that Pocket does that I am missing?

G+_Holly Potier Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I use Pocket for things I want to read, and not necessarily keep. Also, sometimes when I want to 'share' (save) something to Evernote it only saves the link where as if I save to pocket then share to Evernote it saves the whole article.

G+_Corey Fields Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Apples and oranges in my opinion. I use both. Pocket's focus is on being a centralized place to keep internet content that you want to read later. Articles are cleared when you check them off, and they also focus on readability of your saved articles within the app (removing ads, clutter, etc.). Evernote is for keeping and remembering lots of different kinds of content, including things that you yourself create/capture. I would never remember go back into Evernote to read a saved article because of all the other stuff I have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Orr (UglyBassMi Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 That makes sense. I have had several people tell me that I need to use pocket. I put everything into Evernote and I like only having one app to manage. For a while I was testing online storage apps and stuff stored everywhere. It was a nightmare. So now I am more of a minimalist. I just wanted to make sure that I was not overlooking something really cool with Pocket. I have a folder in my Evernote that I call "Everything that I Snatched From the Web". I go in on the weekends and catch the folder up. I read the web clipping then decide to keep or trash. Thanks for all the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Orr (UglyBassMi Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Evernote also allows offline with the pro version. Not trying to one up just in forming. So Pocket does sound cool. I just think that I am so deep into the Evernote ecosystem that is why I use it as my version of Pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kyle Mallory Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I had this same discussion with myself. No, I don't hear voices, I just like to ponder :p The conclusion we came up with is that Pocket is my Temp folder for stuff I'm going to get to soon and dispose of. Evernote is my archive of stuff I need to remember. Maybe it is just because I like both apps, but utilizing them this way serves me very well and I love both apps.
