Comments on: Livescribe Pulse Smartpen is go http://smartselling.wordpress.com/2008/10/03/livescribe-pulse-smartpen-is-go/ Thoughts and ideas from the frontline of social media and sales leadership Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:46:29 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Adam Wallace http://smartselling.wordpress.com/2008/10/03/livescribe-pulse-smartpen-is-go/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Adam Wallace Sat, 04 Oct 2008 02:19:02 +0000 http://smartselling.wordpress.com/?p=3#comment-3 A recent article on SmartCompany.com.au reinforced the power of note taking - http://www.smartcompany.com.au/Blog/Sue-Barrett-Blog/20080926-Take-note.html. Unfortunately my notes normally resemble a 2 year olds colouring-in book so I was dubious about LiveScribe being able to recognise my handwriting let alone make it searchable. When I realised Mark had them in stock I put on my ‘early adopter’ hat and took the plunge. Two days later I can sum it up in one word – Magic.
