In this article let’s see how we can make use of Twitter to easily send tweets and notes to our Evernote notebook.

Earlier I’ve walked you through on how to make use of Twitter Favorites to effectively use Twitter from your iPhone. In this article let’s see how we can make use of the more powerful Evernote service to tweet our favorite tweets into our Evernote Notebook so it can be used and managed in a lot better way than the simplistic interface that Twitter provides to manage our Twitter Favorites.

Get started by following @myEN. myEN is a Twitter account from Evernote that takes care of sending your tweets to your Evernote account.

Once you follow myEN it will send you a direct message to finish the last step of linking your Twitter account to your Evernote account. Follow the link on that direct message.

You’ll be prompted to login to your Evernote account, if you haven’t already, and as soon as you login you’ll be prompted to link your Twitter account with your Evernote account. Click on the "Link accounts" button.

Once linked, you’ll see a confirmation message. It’s important that you see the confirmation message. I ran into an issue without seeing the confirmation message.

Once done, you are all set to tweet to your Evernote account. Basically there are 3 ways you can tweet to your Evernote Notebook.

1. Send public tweets to Evernote

Sending a public tweet is the most straight-forward way. Just tweet as you normally do but make sure to mention @myEN anywhere on your tweet. Yes, that will reduce your twitting capability to 135 characters essentially but that’s a decent trade-off for the kind of advantage the Twitter and Evernote combination brings-in.

2. Send Direct Messages to Evernote

If you don’t want your note to be publicly visible you can direct message your tweet to Evernote. Go into the "Direct Message" view and choose "myEN" from the direct message list. Type-in your tweet and hit "Send". Your tweet won’t appear on your public timeline but will only show-up on your Evernote Notebook.

3. Send picture tweets to Evernote

If you’d like to send a picture to your Evernote Notebook tweet as usual, public or direct message, and make sure to mention the TwitPic URL on your tweet.

Once you tweet using any of these ways you’ll see that a new note gets added to your Evernote Notebook for each tweet.

That’s all to linking Twitter and Evernote together to send all your favorite tweets to your Evernote Notebook. Isn’t that fascinating to see such an useful service like this?

If you’d rather like to see it as a video instead, here is a video that sums these steps up pretty nice.

Twitter and Evernote combination seems to be a killer combo for the many who uses both the services. Instead of dumping all my favorite tweets with the limited-capability "Twitter Favorites" I can now dump all my Twitter favorites to Evernote and can make use of it in a lot better way.

If you find any other way of making use of Evernote as a Twitter hub please let us know in comments.
