The Evernote screenshot feature has definitely raced to the top of my list of reasons for using Evernote. The business world has been using screenshots extensively for years though. So as the world becomes more and more suspicious of the guy two cubicles down so the ability to prove what we’ve been up to is more important now than ever. or my dodgy wallpaper.

Now prior to Evernote gtting a business friendly Screen shot was a multi-step process that just slowed down the process of cranking through the email inbox. Traditionally it would go something like this:

• hit the Prt-Scr button
• Ctrl-V in your *image editor
