I've said it elsewhere, and I'll say it here:

EverNote is impressive and pretty well-designed, but for all its' creator's claiming to support portable data, it has horrible importing, very little exporting at all, and no bulk exporting (when I used it a few months ago). It couldn't even spit out a text-only note as txt, rtf, html, anything. It's a lock-in product. If you're happy with the lock-in, it could be a nice little world, but beware that criteria.

Great idea, for both these companies and consumers.

Kind of odd though to have 4 products that last an entire year, 1 for 6 months, and 1 for 2 months.

Definitely! A bit hard to get all these companies and a low price.

Do it work if we have existing account on those webapp ?

Ex : My Mindmeister account is expiring in about a month.

Yea, for most you should be able to extend them. Let me know if you have any issues and I'll help get it resolved.

This is basically groupon for software. Surprised no one else has done this before...

Ahem.

Conclusion: this is your site. Probably worth mentioning.

Yea, I'm not hiding that I am involved. And yes, I'm still surprised no on has done it (:

this is more like macheist. but a groupon system could work too.

Yea, good point. Could merge both those things together...

I'm a very happy evernote user. Lock-in or otherwise.

Nice! I hope they get Freshbooks signed up sometime!
