[...] Study maps of your area – Maybe it’s just me, but I respect people who know their way around an area of which they don’t live in the immediate vicinity. I might just be self-conscious, though. [...]

Heh, yeah, Evernote is definitely a great product. I know that lots of people love it. The iPhone app is really cool, too. Glad you found it!

Oh wow! I have never seen Evernote before. I guess I’m going to try it out because you think it’s cool. How funny is that?

Really, this shows how critical it is to create cool products. So much marketing comes from word of mouth. If a few people think something is cool, it is highly likely their friends will all try it and so on and so forth.

I’m wondering if I can get Evernote for my iPod Touch…checking iTunes…YES!

Heh, yeah. I figured people would be able to relate to what I was saying. Your example of Shazam fits exactly with what I was talking about…using things that don’t serve me a real purpose just because other people are using them. Thanks for your response.

Wow. yeah, I think that’s problem that many many people have, including myself… cept I started using Evernote before I knew that lots of others used it. I know that I did that will the version of shazam for windows mobile. I noticed that others around me were using it so I thought that i should too. Then I realized that I really don’t care most of the time… or that there is usually someone around you who knows what the song is… and that takes about 25 seconds less time.
