evernote kind of apps don't work. Except Google Keep. Keep kinda works.

The only problem is that Google dont keep services alive.

What warrant us that Faqt.co is still alive next week? Nothing. Every service on the Internet can be shut down. Google services are as long online as Google profit from them.

[stephenson]

Faqt.co could as well yes, but google has quit a history of closing down small services.

How do the profit from Keep?

[icebraining]

Faqt.co could as well yes, but google has quit a history of closing down small services.

After years of service, and with months of warning and a tool to export your data. Keep's predecessor (Notebook) lasted 6 years. Reader lasted 8. Orkut lasted 10. How many startups live for that long? How many don't suddenly shut down, leaving you stranded?

Don't get too attached. Keep is being discontinued in the next few months. Something better is replacing it, eventually, but just keep that in mind.

I was unable to find anything that suggests this. Are you speculating?

[dmd]

Could be that, could be a troll, could be an actual Googler (355 Main Street is Google's address in Cambridge MA)

[nabeelahmed13]

Probably speculating given the lifetime of most small-scale Google apps.

How so?
