Google Launches 'Keep' To Rival Evernote

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday March 20, 2013 @09:15AM from the keep-on-keeping-on dept.

Today Google launched 'Google Keep', a mobile note-taking service to rival software like Evernote. It works on devices running Android 4.0 or later, and there's also a web interface (which is struggling under launch load as of this writing). Google describes the service thus: "With Keep you can quickly jot ideas down when you think of them and even include checklists and photos to keep track of what’s important to you. Your notes are safely stored in Google Drive and synced to all your devices so you can always have them at hand. If it’s more convenient to speak than to type that’s fine—Keep transcribes voice memos for you automatically. There’s super-fast search to find what you’re looking for and when you’re finished with a note you can archive or delete it." Fans of Google Reader will probably be a bit hesitant to pick this up.

I'm pretty sure that's when this will get the axe.

  At which point it will be renamed Google Kept.

Except for their products. They don't seem very interested in keeping those around.

There's no -1 for "I don't get it."

If people are their product, then wouldn't that make Google guilty of human trafficking?

All they need now is services called "Lose" and "Weep".
