The guys at Evernote have just unveiled some new goodies in Evernote 2.0 Beta for Mac.

First up is sharing, and this includes some sweet new features. You can share any notebook, either with named individuals or with the entire world. These public notebooks have a URL (which you can keep to yourself, or tell the world – and search engines – about), and an RSS feed.

If you use Evernote Premium, you can allow others to edit those public notes, as well as view them.

Another new feature is stacking, which borrows slightly from iOS. Evernote users have long been calling for ways to organize large collections of notebooks. If you like to compartmentalize everything you note down, and you have dozens of different notebooks in your database, the sidebar can soon get a little messy.

Stacks, then, are folders for notebooks. Just drag one notebook on top of another to create a new stack (iOS style), and have as many stacks as you wish.

One detail I really like: each computer you use Evernote on remembers which stacks you’ve left open. So you can keep your “work” stack open on your work computer, and your “fun” stack open on your home iMac, and so on. Nice touch.
