Google launches basic note taking app called “Keep”

Google has just launched a note taking app which can also be accessed via the web. It is integrated with Google Drive which is Google’s cloud storage service. Google is trying to compete with other popular note taking apps in this category like Evernote and Simplenote with their new app.

Google Keep desktop

You can access the web counterpart of Google Keep here. It automatically syncs across with your Android phone or tablet to display all your notes or checklists. The phone app has identical functions with the option to create a simple note, a checklist, add a photo or dictate something which Google’s voice recognition software transcribes for you. You can assign different colours to your notes to differentiate between them easily. You can also delete or archive the notes in case you plan to refer to them later.

Google Keep mobile app

The design is very simplistic without any clutter. It is very reminiscent of the sticky notes that are often used for leaving notes and reminders. And sticky notes may not be at hand at all times but your phone most probably will. Google Keep is extremely simple and intuitive to use, which is how most apps should be. But as of now it doesn’t offer much over its competitors. It might be eventually be able to tie in with other Google services like Gmail or Google Maps. But until then power users might find it a bit weak to do their bidding. But if you are looking for a simple note taking app, definitely give it a try.

Google Keep is only available for Android devices running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and above. For those on Android 4.2 Jellybean, Keep can be added as a lockscreen widget to instantly take notes without unlocking your device.

Download Google Keep from the Play Store.

Holi is just around the corner and will be celebrated on March 27th 2012. Youngsters are already arming themselves with water balloons and drenching unsuspecting passerby’s. Few of them pause to consider that this balloons hurt both people and the planet. While the pain where the balloon hit you may recede, the damage caused due to the environment may not be so easily remedied. These plastics are not recyclable and will most probably clog drains or be consumed by some poor animal. Secondly the water lost may not be so easily gained back. Holi is pre-dominantly a festival of colours which everyone seems to have forgotten. Another thing not many people might remember is that March 22nd is observed as World Water Day. The United Nations General Assembly designated 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day and each year World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. In 2013, in reflection of the International Year of Water Cooperation, World Water Day is also dedicated to the theme of cooperation around water and is coordinated by UNESCO in collaboration with UNECE and UNDESA on behalf of UN-Water.
