I keep getting error popup. Anyone else getting this in FF?
The popup is gone for me, now it works perfectly
EDIT: now it's back to the popup... There wasn't anything particularly exciting anyway.

Re: Google Keep
#12Google has just released an Evernote competitor called Google Keep.
They killed Google Notebook a couple years ago. I don't know why I should trust this one. Pretty ballsy to call it "keep", bloggers can start drafting their "Google Loses Keep" headlines now.
You should trust them as long as the people behind this app are working for Google. It is apparently obvious that Google as a company stays above its products and people. When people leave, the product pretty much goes with them. Unless of course you have built a cash cow like Gmail or other Ads generating mechanism. Also exempt are your Glasses, self-driving cars and etc.

Data from Google Notebook wasn't lost, just transfered over to Google Docs.

Are they? The press thus far has sort of focused pretty heavily on Thrun. If he were to walk away from Google, I wonder what would actually happen.
Re: Google Keep
#16I used Google Notebook fairly heavily, but they discontinued it. I love (and pay for) Evernote now, which has lots of great integrations with other products. Why would I trust Google again?

#17Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and... everything works, but recording(crashes app).
Re: Google Keep
#18This is extremely minimal, I'd honestly expect more from a Google product. There's not even a tutorial or anything. Also why are there not any text formatting options? I'd love a real Google Evernote competitor but this is not even in the same league. Am I missing something, or is this just neutered Google Drive?

Well, my reference is to post-Kinect world of Microsoft in particular and the world at large in general. It seems every other big IT corporation is looking to keep one or two of their larger-than-life futuristic product at the top of the shelf as sort of a promise to the humanity. So there is no chance that they will let go of those inventions so easily so soon. The rest of the tiny everyday products, well, you have Google Webstore for those where millions of others are keeping company.

Lots of people, including myself, feel that Evernote is overly complex and not enjoyable to use. I've always wanted a simple app that lets me sync basic text notes across devices. All the ones I've been able to find have something off about them, whether it be interface, lack of sync, complexity, or other annoyance. I find Keep to actually be quite nice, and it fits my needs. I assume there are others for whom this is also true.
Edit: I guess you could say Google's Evernote competitor is just Google Drive itself. If you want text formatting, create an actual Doc. Keep seems to be explicitly for short-form, simple note taking. I think there's a large market for that.
