I use evernote since a couple of months ago and it its very useful because I can take notes everywhere, easily and on any of my devices. Also, as the article says it’s good that it is just one thing. However I think at least I will try Keep to know how it works…but Evernote, don’t worry you are still my choice.

Sort of a comical article. Sure, it’s a drag that Google Reader is gone… I used it all the time myself, but you just export your feeds and import them into one of the other zillion readers out there? What’s so tough about that? You have a ton of choices, so there’s really no need to whine about Google did with Reader. You’re right though, to not want to use Google Keep because they could close it at any time… in which case all your data WOULD be stuck in some proprietary format… not so with Google Reader. Lighten up man!

Anyone remember Microsoft SyncToy? I loved it…until it wasn’t developed to work with Windows 7. Then they had Live Mesh Beta, and…well, it was kinda confusing but it ultimately kinda merged with SkyDrive….http://nontechietalk.blogspot.ca/2012/02/most-things-change-more-they-stay-same.html

GM killed Olds. Then they killed Pontiac. Then they killed Saturn. Gee, let’s never buy a Buick, a Chevrolet or a Cadillac.

McDonald’s made pizza. They don’t now. You just can’t trust that McDonald’s company.

Newsflash – Google is not the only company that makes product mix decisions – these decisions are a part of being a business.

Gmail is still around. Calendar too. Android looks to be around for a while. But, “because of Reader” we just assume anything Google puts out won’t stay?

Microsoft killed Bob, and Clippy, and the Start button. Apple killed its Laserwriter, and OpenDocs…

Things change. Companies innovate, try things, make tough decisions and move on. They make mistakes, and they also get it right sometimes.

Get over it.

I wish I had the luxury of picking and choosing when it comes to new Google products. If there’s any chance it may be interpreted as a “social signal”, I’ve at least got to get my feet wet with it…

But Google Drive is a CORE product for Google.

I see a trend in Google to integrate everything under three CORE products: Google+, Google Drive and Google Search.

funny to read this text on a page where 9 tracking services in javascripts are running!
and.. of course sharing buttons at the end of the page just in case you are to stupid to copy and paste a simple link from here to somewhere else.
trap!

Google currents supports rss feed. It’s better than Google reader. I don’t know why people are not using it?

I am curious why nobody mentions OneNote. It was, afaik, the first in the market, and it’s a solid product. Everything else seems to offer less without making it more.
