Brian perfect explanation but I feel that going social is a risk for both comodities since we still do not have a social media which is capable of being professional when needed.

Yes chuck and trust me that this will make things worse for cloud in the near future. Cloud providers should get together and make a strong statement on what ae the areas that cloud can take care of and what are not.

@asanka.geek, it seems to me that the cloud gets blamed for just about everything, so yes the cloud would get the blame for any security issues with evernote.

It seems to me the 'cloud' is just a convenient name for a distributed computing model that depends on resources in some datacenter that is sharing access to clients. Any network based system is essentially a private cloud. And the level of authentication that is required to access it determines its overall security.

@shakeeb - I did and realized why I left in the first place: I can't save notes offline without paying. Springpad does that for free.

Taimur --

I don't think so. You should already have your social media accounts in place. In fact, I'm not aware of any third-party service that creates brand-new social media accounts for you -- though they may have a link to where you can create an account if you don't already have one.

I think most social media services have API policies in place that prohibit mass account creation by third parties. (I could be wrong on this one, though.)

@Maria: Does Evernote also create new accounts on social media sites for the company? As far as I read, it allows you to manage social media accounts centrally that you already created.

I'm on the same boat as the previous commenter. I've heard a lot about Evernote but I never really made time to check it out. But based on a lot of the comments I've seen here (most of them raving about the app), I guess it's high time that I check it out and see what I've been missing!

Shakeeb,

This is something which frustrates me(and upsets me) no end about most Software Solutions(in the Cloud);Why can't they atleast come with Basic Security Solutions for Free???

Just providing basic 128 bit/256 bit encryption solutions should not cost anybody much in terms of Encryption overhead.

Why don't they provide a really basic Encryption version for Free?

Or atleast give us a 6 month long Free Trial?

Recently, the Obama administration has been of two minds where privacy rights are concerned. On one hand, you have an administration that vowed to veto CISPA and mandated open data for government websites. On the other hand, you have an increasingly out-of-control Department of Justice on a fishing expedition at AP and demanding legislation to let the FBI wiretap private, encrypted communications and levy fines if a company fails to comply.

The apartment and house sharing service, Airbnb, now requires members to verify their identities by demonstrating a presence on the web, and by either scanning a government ID or entering detailed personal details. Other enterprises should take a close look at Airbnb's verification policies.

Facebook advertising is a lightning rod. It seems neither brands nor consumers are 100 percent happy about the social media site's policies, placement, or procedures. But the real controversy about Facebook ads and promotions is over whether they work.

By now, you've most likely heard about the 3D-printed gun that Texas-based Defense Distributed demonstrated last week. But we haven't heard the last about the censorship war that began soon afterward.

Argument Over Top-Level Domains Is 'Stupid'

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.

Locked Handsets Aren't the Problem – Subsidies Are the Problem

Subsidized handsets, rather than locked handsets, should be the focus of regulators. We're not getting good deals, not fostering innovation, and weakening our power as buyers.
