Evernote Chat - worst idea ever

[JeffP 4]

Putting any kind of 'social stuff' into Evernote is a classic textbook example of "scope creep".

Now I'm getting spam in my evernote app.  Great.  Just what I needed, some unwanted notes about ED meds.

Whoever sanctioned the addition of "chat" to Evernote needs a large bucket of ice water dumped on them and then somebody to shout "Wake UP!"

Evernote is an awesome NOTES APP.  Please stop crudding it up with a bunch of nonsense that doesn't belong there.

(and please add an account-wide preference to turn off ALL chat features)

Seems like someone had the interesting idea of setting up spoof Evernote accounts to be able to spam other users.  Evernote is investigating how this is happening - best advice meantime,  report any occurrences to Evernote via this link so they can get it fixed..

I like the chat feature but I am not using it for work purposes, it's a nice way for family members to collaborate on shared notebooks we have.
