Free Evernote Premium subscription for all DigitalNow attendees

Evernote and Fusion Productions are offering complimentary one-year Evernote Premium subscriptions to all DigitalNow 2009 attendees. This is the first time that we've ever given away free premium accounts like this, but we really want you to try all of Evernote's features and give us feedback on how to make Evernote even better for your association members.

To activate your premium subscription, all you need to do is go to http://www.evernote.com and create a free account. You can download Evernote software for Windows, Mac, iPhone, etc. and start using your basic account right away. In a couple of days (as soon as we can process the attendee emails) you'll receive an email from Evernote with an electronic gift card good for a one-year upgrade to Evernote Premium. Just follow the instructions on the card to upgrade your account.

Premium accounts have many benefits: a huge quota - 500 megabytes per month of new memories, faster image processing, enhanced SSL security, premium level customer support and premium-only features such as live file synchronization. Take a look at the Evernote web site for more info about free vs. premium accounts.

If you already have an Evernote account, you don't have to do anything; as a DigitalNow 2009 attendee, you'll receive the Premium gift card automatically. If you already paid for a Premium account - thanks! - and don't worry; you'll be able to use the gift card to upgrade a friend.

Day Two at DigitalNow 2009: Peter Hirshberg is big hit

The DigitalNow 2009 audience responded with great enthusiasm to Peter Hirshberg's opening keynote on Day Two of the conference, currently in session at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club resorts in Orlando, FL.

Peter's presentation was witty, informative, targeted, and highly valuable. His live session was accompanied by a flurry of Twitter "Tweets" from the audience who were communicating in real time with each other as well as with staff members "back home."

Clay Shirky speaks at DigitalNow 2009

Clay Shirky - author of Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organizations delivered the opening keynote at DigitalNow 2009 this morning.


Clay said that we are in the midst of a media revolution that is unrivaled in our lifetime. He said that we will not fully realize the application of social networking and what we call Web 2.0 until the mainstream becomes bored with the tools and begins to take them for granted. When asked what he thought the next biggest technological development would be, Clay answered, "Email." He said that we are now bored with email and have moved into a phase of critical usage and creative application.


Through use of engaging stories - such as the group of young people in Belarus who caused a political uprising by meeting in a town square and eating ice cream - Clay explores how technology is enabling some radical new modes of engagement.
