Jabber → Evernote

Preamble

After I started using Evernote, I realized what I still lacked - the ability to send notes through Jabber. And quickly, and unnecessary gestures are not necessary, and always at hand. The search for the evernote-jabber bot was unsuccessful, so I started looking for other ways. There were two such methods ...

1. SMTP transport

The method is based on the ability of Evernote to receive notes by e-mail. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get any of the public smtp2jabber transfers to work, so you can only build theories. Nevertheless, I would like to test it in action in order to avoid the shortcomings of the second method (about them below) - the owners of jabber-servers or experts on open transports, please respond!

2. Tweet.im

The method is based on the ability to receive notes via twitter. Not without flaws, but “just works”. So, a step-by-step guide:
1. Register on Twitter (if not already);
2. Fallaway bot myEN and wait until he zafollovit you (a few minutes), then confirm the connection to the Twitter account via the web interface Evernote;
3. On tweet.im we connect the twitter with the jabber account: for this, you just need to fill out the form of four fields, and then authorize the bot in the jabber;
4. Add myen@twitter.tweet.im to the contact list, optionally - give it the name Evernote (here what the soul wants);
5. Start writing notes through jabber .

To immediately dispel doubts - notes when you contact myen@twitter.tweet.im on Twitter are not duplicated, but are sent to the bot personally

Fly in the ointment or why I would prefer an SMTP transfer

1. The twitter bot does not respond very quickly - the delay is usually from two to five minutes (this fact even made me doubt the efficiency of the method at first). It could have been worse, but it could have been better.
2. This is twitter - 140 characters. However, the situation is brightened up by the fact that the format of notes-through-jabber rarely implies a large length.

Conclusion

So, we have one good method that does not work, and a method with a couple of drawbacks that works quite well. Posting via Twitter is enough for me, but if there is an open and working smtp transport, I will definitely go to it. I would very much like to draw the attention of Evernote developers - it seems to me that the implementation of such functionality (or at least debriefing with the performance of the twitter bot) will not be superfluous.

Have a nice use!
