3/18/2013
Google is experimenting with a note-taking service called Google Keep. Meanwhile, over 500,000 people have joined Feedly after Google said it was scrapping Google Reader.
Goggle keep, is like Evernote, Pocket, and Onenote. it is a note-taking guide, it helps you organize and save website snippets directly. it allowed you to save notes, color code them, save pictures, and make checkslist.
It has been a hit so far, the Andrroid police has recently reported it being gone. these apps don't seem to be lasting any long amounts of time.  The codename for Google Keep is "memento" and the MIME type for Google Keep files is "application/vnd.google-apps.note".
It seems to be replacement for 'Google Notebook" a service that has been discontinued sinve 2009.
This is important to know, because yu may have certain files saved under either evernote, onenote, or google keep. and all of a sudden in a day its gone. it is impotant to have a reliable source you can trust with you data.
