Evernote finally gets a normal Web app

Evernote

After the closure of Google Notebook, Evernote actually became the most popular online notebook. Even having such strong competitors like Zoho Notebook and MS OneNote. The main advantage of Evernote is that it's available everywhere as a native app: on Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Palm, Windows Mobile, as a plug-in for browsers. Of course, the global access to an online notebook, including offline access, is extremely important to users. But the web-client of Evernote was the main reason why the majority of Google Notebook users preferred to stay with it (even after closure) and not move to Evernote. Today Evernote finally has released a normal Web-based app with a convenient interface (like in Outlook). In addition, the web-engine has been completely rewritten and now it works really fast.

Of course, some features in the Evernote Web are still not so good as in Google Notebook, such as tags, comments. But it has added autosave   feature and the ability to share pages or notebooks with colleagues (via email or Facebook). However, in the free version you can share a page just for viewing. If you want to enable colleagues to edit pages, you need a Premium account, which costs $5 per month. In addition to this collaborative features the Premium account allows to use mobile apps and store in Evernote any files (with a limitation of 1GB upload per month).
