Im beginning to worry this is vaporware. I can't get an invitation to the beta for the online service. I have the mac client which is nice but the real cool features require the online access which I don't have yet. Also it doesn't work with pdf's yet as far as I can tell.

This is not vaporware i am using it, with the online service as well it works. I wish it had TOP file support but it's coming soon.

Evernote is pretty cool. Its an on-line Journler, Together, etc. The text recognition for photos taken with my iPhone is pretty impressive.

Vaporware? no it isn't. Using it fine here ;)
In an interview i read that pdf is on the to do list.

This is really good stuff. First i used Devonthink pro, then switched to Together (both are nice), but now with this having a Mac client and online sync it's first choice for me hands down.

Ok, I've been vocal about my disdain for beta apps on iusethis.com... but I have 10 invites to Evernote right now and for those that want one send me an email to rbrimhall at gmail dot com.

I am using it on Mac and PC - the sync works fine. Unlike Journler you can't add attachment to notes which would be a feature I would use for sure.

It is free with limited online space - they will surely have paying models once I have put loads of data online.

It is nearly stable - I had only on crash on PC - not mac (eh eh).

I like the Outlook plugin that allows saving emails as notes.

Overall a very nice application that I use in // to Journler but for other type of information,

Latest mac versions routinely die on opening. At first seemed very promising. Not reliable now. Even the crash reporting dies....

Looks really cool, until i realized you HAD to create an account to use the desktop software.. im assuming the recognition software is serverside, ... too big brotherish for me. Is that why its free?

I don't think the program itself is better than Yojimbo or Together(I own both).
But I'm using this instead of others because
1) I can get to my stuff from anywhere because it sync to web server.
2) text recognition

I paid for newsfire which is now free and I do not use it. I LOVE Vienna which is also free works great and looks like a Leopard app. it is opensource free.

I don't feel bad for paying. Watanabe deserves the money. It's an excellent reader. I've been using it since 2004 and I have 0 complaints. It's beautiful.

Have you tried this free version of NewsfIre? If you did, you probably have noticed that you cannot delete David Watanabe's blog RSS feed. That's the main reason why I sent it to the trash.
But there's more... Vienna and NetNewsWire are now both free. (Vienna has always been free.) And, IMHO, they're both better than NewsFire. They both have better (and nicer) interfaces, they are both easier to customize and both have built-in browsers (NewsFire has not).
Just one more thing... When NetNewsWire went free, NewsGator refunded the users who had bought a licence on the latest months. Why didn't the developer of NewsFire do just the same?

@tee_cee: I toooootally agree! I deleted the app when I noticed that Dave's feed cannot be removed. Unacceptable, although I know it can be deleted by using a little 'trickie' ...

@ dway:
I'm curious about that "trickie"...

Beautiful this app may be, but unless you only subscribe to a small handful of feeds it simply isn't designed to handle the load.

I bought this app way back when it was still a shareware title... good app, loved using it. They only thing I hated is that it couldn't sync my feeds between my macpro and my macbook... which is why I switched to newsnetwire when it became free... newgator syncs it all... BUT I do like the interface and the way it blends into the OS... if only there was a way to sync newsgator with newsfire...

Things is just an awesome program. I own omnifocus but find it takes a lot of work to get it right. Things works the way my brain works. It still needs improvement it isnt even at v1.0 yet. Of course it will support the iphone in June.

A near-perfect application. I use this constantly during my hectic workday, to keep tabs on my priorities when my own head can't keep up. Previously I had an entire 1600×1200 display full of Post-it-notes for the same purpose. I've inspired two other of my workmates to start using it. I can't wait until there's iPhone sync support!

i've struggled with iGTD (overcomplicated, weird syncing), through OmniFocus (despite the "Omni" quality prefix is the app interface confusing and the price just too high) and ended here with Things being happy. Things has just the mac clean interface and simplicity, cruicial in GTD. during a busy day there is no time to eat and drink, not to study an overcomplicated app. thanks

Although I love just about anything OMNI, OF really wasn't working for me. Neither were any of the other 10 apps I tried. I was looking for something as easy as TaskPaper but something powerful like OF. Things is it. In my top three favourite apps on my Macbook Pro.
