Quick Tip: Quickly Save Google+ Snippets to Evernote

I read Gabriel Vasile's post on Google+ about creative ways to use the new platform, and the one that stuck out was bookmarking. You can create an empty circle and share things with it as a way of privately bookmarking them without the need to share of +1 them. Today, I took it one step further and add my private Evernote email address (find your here) to that otherwise-empty circle.

Now, when I share to my "Bookmarks" circle, not only is the post I shared save in my Google+ account, but the metadata, image and snippet are sent into my Evernote account. Of course, I'll have to organize them after the fact, but that can be done easily and en massse using Evernote's desktop application.

Hopefully, Google's steady opening up of the Google+ API will enable services like ifttt.com to add Google+ to the list of ways they make web tools talk to each other.
