Many online note taking sites like this focus on the presentation of note taking (fonts, format, display) and not on the actual note taking itself such as shorthand to longhand conversion and the ability to locate notes by tags and contexts. This is where AyeNotes really shines. Using AyeNote’s shorthand to longhand conversion, I can prevent typos when I am typing, create templates for certain types of notes, and use simple keystrokes to jot down detailed information which I can then store online and tag, download locally, or even email to my friends. This works really for me at work and for a class I am taking. Check it out.
