"Evernote is an application that allows you to take pictures of objects that you wish to remember, and then search for that object later. Guess what else does this? A camera."<p>There's just one problem: Evernote is a <i>note taking</i> application that happens to be able to OCR images and allow you to search the text. Seems that someone is reviewing a tool that he has never used?<p>Remember the Milk has primarily picked up steam (IMO) because Google hasn't pushed/facilitated third-party adoption. Google Tasks is great if you're using Gmail, in a browser. Not so much if you want to access tasks from another application, mobile device, etc.<p>And when did Twitter claim to be any form of productivity app/tool?<p>This article seems to compare brainstorming apps to task trackers and a variety of other tools, claiming that some are "better" than others. It's not that I disagree with all of the points, but it is hard to follow/swallow.
