One of the most crucial tools I use is Evernote. I first heard of Evernote in a Michael Hyatt Seminar. At that time, I was trying to use a variety of PIM programs to try to get things done and be organized. It was a woefully inefficient system, but I couldn’t find a way out of it.
At the time, I was playing with Microsoft OneNote, ans very dissatisfied with it. There’s a lot I still don’t like about OneNote, not the least of which is the lack of a way to enter text on a page as a whole, instead of creating little free floating frames of text – which often are very difficult to line up.
Evernote is my go-to system for note taking, planning and web clipping. Share on XOn Michael Hyatt’s recommendation, I tried Evernote and stopped using OneNote immediately. Evernote immediately became my default system for note taking, web clipping and planning program. I’ve explored other uses for it, but these right now are my go-to systems.
I was relieved to see the client list of Evernote – a number of big corporate clients which should ensure the program’s presence for years, until the next big thing cames along.
Apparently, some bad business decisions were made by Evernote around this time. A large number of long time Evernote employees were let go in an attempt to turn the company around, and a very frank article was written by the new CEO on the state of Evernote was written. Evernote’s future rAemains in question, a position that a highly successful service like Evernote should never be in.
Evernote is making moves to remedy this situation, but unfortunately they’ve issued no updates on the status of Evernote since January. Some update would be a good idea to reassure diehard Evernote devotees.
An update would go a long way to reassure Evernote Devotees. Share on XRumor is running rife with several bloggers and vloggers sounding the alarm that “Evernote is dead”. If this is true, Evernote needs to let its customers know so they can look into alternatives, be it OneNote, Notion or NimbusNote, the default favorite of PC Users.
If this is NOT true, Evernote should issue an update to reassure diehards that the company is alive and well, and is making moves to consolidate its position and assure future service. A software update would go a long way towards relieving concerns, and a six month “State of the Service” blog entry from its new CEO would help as well.
I invite Evernote to comment, and to let us know if Evernote still is at risk, or if the future is assured. To remain silent at this time is a disservice to loyal customers.
Evernote’s Answer…
2021 Update – it still blows my mind I had a direct response from Evernote about this! This is what makes a company great, and we’ve had perhaps 21 updates to Evernote across all platforms to make it work!
