  1. - Evernote has a sustainable business model with a plan to stick around at least 100 years -- I am still unclear about how Springpad's ad-based model is going to work as they scale up

    - it stores my data safe and secure forever on its own servers, even if I never pay a dime -- Springpad rents space from Amazon

    - it provides me with my own copy of the data on my devices, so I have offline access and total data security -- when I have no connection or Amazon's servers go down, Springpad is unavailable

    - it is accessible from any device with native applications for just about everything -- Springpad has iOS, Android, and Web clients only

    - it is conducive to a paperless existence by allowing notes up to 50MB in size -- I think Springpad still has a 5MB file upload limit

    - Evernote is a platform with lots of third-party integrations, so that even if Evernote doesn't develop that particular feature you are wanting, someone probably has, and it works with Evernote -- Springpad has an API as well, but seems to have far fewer third-party integrations

     

    I am coming to Evernote from Google Docs, which does everything you mention here and a whole lot more.  There are many reasons that I could get into to describe how Evernote works better for my purposes (which by and large don't even include the "browser" features, though I am learning to love them too!).  However, there are many things -- not just his issue with resizing pictures -- that Evernote is going to have to do better at.  If they don't, someone else is going to.  The barrier to entry for creating apps and services is only getting lower.

  2. @Chodorowicz Thx for a clear and helpful post. Will finally download Skitch and see whether it is actually of any value with my work flow. All of this would be so much faster if it were just part of EN client for windows desktop, and for IOS on iPhone, but of course that is just me (and perhaps many others!).

     

    +1.  If I'm going to have to be opening up the photo in another application, well, I could just resize it in paint or PhotoShop.  Absolutely no reason not to be able to do that in the app (Desktop or Mobile). Skitch very cool, but come on.  This is silly.
