Three weeks ago we wrote about the release of the new Application Programming Interface (API) of sophisticated note taking system Evernote. We said we were excited to see what outside developers were going to do with it. Today we saw our first Evernote integration and it is awesome.
Group collaboration startup Pelotonics has turned Evernote into an easy way to load photos, voice messages, notes and other media into your project management system, including from a mobile device.
Pelotonics describes itself as a group collaboration system built with “an eye toward adding certain intuitive pieces of functionality that Basecamp did not and would not launch.” We’re not sure whether Basecamp might add Evernote functionality to its software, but after seeing what Pelotonics has done with it so far, that sure looks like it could be a good idea.
When we first reviewed Evernote, we said it didn’t live up to its incredible promise. Despite our concerns, scores of other people love the powerful note taking system. Check out these usecase videos below to see what Pelotonics has done with it.

Does that look like something you might use? We suspect that for many people it may be. Here at ReadWriteWeb we try to use Basecamp as much as we can, though we regularly come back to simpler tools like email and IM. For organizations looking for more heavyweight web-based collaboration tools, this Pelotonics/Evernote combo might work great.
Now we’re even more excited to see what else developers can do with the well-built Evernote API.
