Evernote (Finally) Updates Its Web Interface

The addition of a Facebook share mechanism comes pretty late in the game for Evernote. While startups are often told to include viral loops like Facebook, Evernote has hardly needed such a thing. The company is adding over 26,000 new users a day. Nonetheless, the ability to share notes to a Facebook wall or to a Facebook group will likely only serve to help boost that growth.

The shared sites are also revamped in the process. I've often wondered why I can't use the Evernote "public notebooks" as a blog sites. Now that I've been able to link shared notebooks with this blog, I get the same effect.

Still, it seems like a missed opportunity to not be able to customize the site - in the same way that you can alter Twitter sites.

Fear And Loathing (and sincerity)

I was fourteen and I’d read Catcher in the Rye and A Separate Peace and all the other books about and for nice, well-heeled boys whose lives have gone a little off the rails, butFear and Loathing in Las Vegas was different. It wasn’t just the mind-blowing drug use or the lusty middle finger Thompson seemed to be giving straight America; no, what was so startling, so riveting to my fourteen-year-old’s mind was how sincere the whole thing seemed. 

That's it. Exactly.
