I love using it when I'm going around Ikea. You can't do any of the fancy stuff like dropping in PDFs like you can do in the paid version of Evernote, but it's great for things like lists, like shopping lists. Google Keep is pretty much a rip off of Evernote, right? It's basic note taking. Okay, so let's get the basics out of the way. I thought, “I should do a video on this, and share the reasons why I switched from Evernote over to Google Keep and why you might want to consider doing the same. Personally, I switched over to Google Keep a couple of years ago, and I had kind of forgotten that Evernote existed until Dan Noros posted a thread with that article from Tech Crunch saying what's going on with Evernote, and a lot of people commented on that post saying, “I've canceled my subscription,” or, “I went back down to the free plan,” or, ” There's no features that have been released lately that have been useful for me.” There's certainly still some diehard fans out there, but most people that I talk to tell me that they don't really use it all that much, and it's a place where they kind of dump information, and then don't often go to retrieve it that long. I got an iPad delivered to me on the day of release, and I remember the first app that I downloaded and installed was Evernote, and having Evernote on my iPad on my mobile phone, and then on my computer at the same time with all the synchronization of all the notes was awesome, and that was really the first really great cloud app that took advantage of a mix of local and online synchronization, and eventually they brought out the web interface and everything else, but Evernote's kind of gone a bit of wayside over the last couple years. They're one of the first cloud companies that really got cloud synchronization right. Now Evernote has been around for quite a long time. An article was posted just recently on Tech Crunch and I'll read the title here, “Evernote Lost Its CTO, CFO, CPO, and HR Head in the Last Month,” as it's approaching its public listing, which is pretty crazy. Great to have you and in this video, I'm going to be covering my case for switching from Evernote over to Google Keep.
