Google Keep Labelled "Delete"

judgecorp writes "The Google Keep note-keeping app has had a frosty reception. Analysts including Gartner have said its functionality is laughable compared to that of the rival Evernote (saying "it's like saying MSFT Paint is a threat to Photoshop") and other users have rejected it on the grounds that after the death sentence on Reader, Google can't be trusted not to pull the plug on a service which people have come to rely on."

    I propose we now use "google" instead of "fool".

    Google me once, shame on you.
    Google me twice, shame on me.

      There's an old saying in Mountain View - I know it's in Redmond, probably in Mountain View - that says, Google me once, shame on - shame on you. Google me - you can't get Googled again.

    Frosty reception? I beg to differ, people all over the internet seem to love it.

    Reddit is "all over the Internet"?

    The world has become such a sad place.

    I have a gmail account. I store absolutely nothing on it. It's all routed to my private IMAP server.

    Well isn't that special. La-dee-da.

    Why doesn't EVERYBODY do run their own IMPA server?

    Oh, how it must frustrate you to live in a world of rubes.

    I've understood for years that I couldn't rely on anything in my butt that was new, experimental, or not terribly well known.

    Man, cloud to butt keeps delivering in hilarity...
