Google Keep - First Look

Being a Long term Google Fan and enthusiast, I went through the much publicized new product from Google : Google Keep.

At the First look of it, Only three things come to my mind:
Tad to little, Too less and Too Redundant.

Yes It is clean, targeted and I am sure Google will add more killing features sooner than expected, but:

1. Why Does Google want a Redundant Note application when It killed Notes earlier, and already has Tasks (with corresponding Mobile interface as well)

2. As Far as competition is concerned a lot of features are missing (even when you compare them with Google Lists (in Gmail) - Priority, Due Date to name a few.

Is this the "Concentrated" Efforts and "Channeling Strength"  for which they needed to kill Awesome products like Google Reader !


I have been a ardent FAN of Google and it's vision, Ideology. BUT Lately they have been going hay-while, If you can't make it commercial, Hire someone who can - That's why Microsoft has Steve Ballmer , Not everyone can be Steve Jobs, (A Techie + A Businessman).

You might end up losing Fans, and Time both (in Re-Engineering existing products). Why can't they use the Note/Lit API's that they already expose (and people use it) to make A robust product.

Even Reader would have made a killing o this.

I have been using Feedly/GoogleReader with  Evernote for an end to end tracking of my favorites.

Google Can Kill whatever they like, It's their product, and their Money , but at least do a market research !




I am sure Steve Jobs succeeded in killing the spirit of his Toughest Competitor in the passing
