Category: Web work
These days, most of my work is very related to the online world.

Evernote hits 100,000,000 users
Evernote, the note-taking web service that I’ve praised several times, has hit a rather substantial milestone – 100 million users.  Since there are actually multiple applications and services with a significant user overlap, there are a few ways to look at the numbers.  Check out their blog post that provides a few details.
I use it for all kinds of things – meeting notes, technical specs storage, bookmarking and website clipping, and even as a searchable archive for this blog. Â It is vital for me at work, at home, and on the move (specifically, offline folders for the mobile devices are godsent when traveling abroad).
To the Evernote team: thank you guys! You are amazing and your service is truly awesome. Â Keep it up and make it even better.
