Google today launched Keep, an app that allows you to save things, clip stuff from the web, hoard notes and what not and put them all onto your Google Drive. Yup, you guessed it — it is an imitation to Evernote and many other such applications. It is a good thing that Google has decided to compete with the likes of Evernote — it validates their market.
It might actually be good, or even better than Evernote. But I still won’t use Keep. You know why? Google Reader.
I spent about seven years of my online life on that service. I sent feedback, used it to annotate information and they killed it like a butcher slaughters a chicken. No conversation — dead. The service that drives more traffic than Google+ was sacrificed because it didn’t meet some vague corporate goals; users — many of them life long — be damned.

Keep seems to be interesting and seems to better than Evernote. Unlike some (including the writer), I don’t have a problem trusting Google since I know their services are almost always superior than others. You know, you can always try it for a few months and if it doesn’t work, then you can ditch them too. Life is better when you don’t take their actions (like removing Google Reader forever) personally.
