Some Reflections on Evernote and MyInfo

Thanks for the suggestions. I will do some experiments along these lines.

I feel that I ought to like and use Evernote more than I do, but I confess that I still feel some lingering uneasiness about the way the company abandoned its most loyal users a few years ago. It’s a brilliant piece of software, but the company itself has always struck me as unpredictable and unreliable. I notice that the latest manifestation of this is that they are going on a wild buying binge. (Apparently now, with Skitch, I will be able to add comic remarks to my photographs. Right—just what I need.) Any firm that claims it is creating a universal permanent memory for the human race (or whatever their current phrase is) probably ought to be viewed with some suspicion. I don’t want software with cosmic powers; I just need a decent, functional note-taking program, for heaven’s sake.
