These two great applications seem to have a lot in common. They both save information in the cloud and synchronize the information for you seamlessly on all your computers and mobile devices.

They serve very different purposes though.

Evernote is perfect if you want to easily capture ideas and things you see while you are online or out and about and access them from any computer. It is different from Dropbox in that it is

Only a username and password separates your Evernote collection from prying eyes.

Evernote provides a great cloud-based service for note taking and clipping that lets you store information for access from any Web-connected device. Unfortunately, amidst all the clever suggestions for using Evernote are several very risky tips. The problem: the only thing separating your Evernote collection from prying eyes is a username and password. If you're the victim of a phishing scam or password-stealing malware, that Evernote collection could provide a one-stop-shop for all your sensitive data.

Some premium (paid) users of Evernote mistakenly assume their Evernote data will somehow be safe from external attacks. However, the security in Evernote premium is simply SSL encryption, which merely encrypts the data while it is being transmitted. It does not prevent it from being stolen by anyone who obtains the username and password.

Evernote just sent out a notice which says that they will be releasing something really big on July 14th. The launch invite says that Evernote has a big secret which will revealed on July 14, 2010 at 10AM.

It also says that "Evernote’s going to flip its lid" which means that Evernote has definitely changed a lot of things or have added some exciting new features to the already popular note-taking software.

I am a very big fan and would definitely wait for July 14 for the revelation of the secret. In the mean time we will send out our detectives to figure out what Evernote is cooking under the hood. More details to follow when our detectives report back to us.
