#72I don't get why this was posted? There some news associated with this?
Google Keep is an app I have been using for over a year now... I think will submit a random Google service's website and make HN's front page also today.

Looks more like a Trello competitor to me.
Not really -- I have used both and they address different requirements (at least as of today). But definitely a competition for Evernote.
I don't even think it is much competition for Evernote. They sit on two sides of the same need's spectrum of complexity, the extreme simplicity of Keep and the extreme feature-completeness of Evernote and OneNote. The main competitor of Keep is just Dropbox + some txt file.

#74Looks cool but when I saw it the first question/thought popped into my mind was: "When will Google shut this down?"
Re: Google Keep
#75Google have killed projects bigger than this in the past so they can focus on big problems. So I ask, what big problem does this solve?
That's the biggest reason I'm not enthusiastic to use new google products. In this case, it looks nice and all, but Trello is more likely to still be there in 2 years.

Last year?! It's been out for how long? :( I really like it so far and have been wanting something like it for quite a while (I've been using plain text files in dropbox). I feel so... behind or something.
It launched to the public on March 20th, 2013. There are official apps for Android and iOS. I can't speak for the iOS app as I haven't used it, but the Android app is very nice.
With it being pre-installed on KitKat I just used it without thinking about whether it was "out" there yet. Great service that I use every day. You can even set each note with a reminder time or location that'll notify you (on phone and Wear) to, well, remind you of it. Great for things you remember at work but need for home etc...

#77I use both Evernote and Wunderlist. It seems like Google Keep is trying to be a mixture of the two.

#78For anyone else who wants to know what this is without signing in: http://www.google.com/keep/ It looks like Google's taking on Evernote with Keep.
Looks more like a replacement for simplenot (http://simplenote.com/) to me.

I agree. Though my Evernote usage has dipped since I started using Keep.
I just need these for a rare plain-text note/list and the Keep App launches effortlessly.

#80Meanwhile at Google HQ. Googler #1: "We've managed to capture everyone's video watching habits, email, activities via Calendar, audio and video calls, browsing habits, what they're looking at via Glass, and where they are via Maps. But there's a major hole in our knowledge: we don't know what people are thinking". Googler #2: "Let's get people to tell us. We'll call it Keep and give it the tag line: 'Google Keep lets…
Here is my opposition: Google tells us they keep the data. Everyone especially your ISP and government is capable of MUCH more private information.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
