Congratulations to the Evernote team! A great product that I use all the time. Glad to see them being recognized. I don't even use any of the premium features/expanded limits but I still pay for it because it's just that good.

I would gladly pay four times the amount I pay now for their service. It's one of those things that has integrated itself so much into my life that I don't know what I'd replace it with if I ever had to.

Congratulations Evernote Team!

What's interesting is that many people forget that Evernote is also a powerful cloud plattform with a solid API. The ability to save all your notes in a standardized way in the Cloud and then install individual apps for filtering, processing, or managing them has huge potential.

I think we've only seen the beginning of where they'll go. In comparison to Dropbox mostly because Evernote as a whole is a bit more difficult to grasp.

Ha, I sent Phil an email last week congratulating him on making one of my favorite products of all time. Turns out that might not be such a special email to him, but as I said, I'm thinking of going premium, not because I need to, but because it's just such an obscenely good product.

The fact that they've got the database open for nevernote[1] is also freakin' incredible, as it means I'm synced across android/windows/Linux seamlessly.

ah, thanks. That's good to know. I didn't make it to Page 4 (in fact, I didn't even notice the page navigation beneath the author bio -- bad design)

A good example of solving a real problem people have, definitely a good approach. I'm an evernote user, I like it, but I see many possibilities for improving UI and features, it's worth trying IMHO.

Congratulations Evernote! I remember being nervous about the leap from release 2 to a cloud integrated offering a few years ago, but that was what made Evernote something that dramatically changed the way I work. It also brought together my Mac, office PC, work BlackBerry, iPhone, and iPad together like I have never seen. I'm a paying customer and I recommend it to everyone.
