You know what I love? When you add an extra digit to something. 100,000 miles. $1,000,000. 10:00 PM. That click when a new 1 appears at the left and all the other digits spin back around to 0. So satisfying. Well, we just heard a really satisfying click at Evernote: we passed 10,000,000 registered users.
Here are some stats, and the comparisons since we last ran them about five months ago:
One of the most interesting things about our users is the number of different platform types that they use Evernote from. 75% use two or more platforms and some use as many as ten! It helps that we have native apps for Mac, Windows, Web, iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, HP WebOS—with more on the way.
Ten million users seemed like an inconceivable number when we were getting ready to launch the service into open beta less than three years ago. Well, it wasn’t literally inconceivable; we actually put it on business plans and investor pitch decks and everything. Yup. 10,000,000 users in three years. That’s what we told people. We had really pretty graphs showing the projections. Reality is much more impressive than projections.
So, of course I’m really psyched about this milestone and want to thank the usual suspects. A big thanks to our partners and investors for the confidence you’ve shown in us over the years. A giant thanks to our employees – the best team I’ve ever been a part of. You just made a product that 10,000,000 have used. How awesome is that? Most importantly, I am extremely grateful to all of our users; to everyone who tried Evernote and everyone who stuck with it. We will continue working every day to make Evernote exceed your expectations.
About four months ago we announced inside the company that if we meet our goal of reaching 10,000,000 users by June 24th – our three year anniversary – we’d get every Evernote employee a shiny new iPad 2. We’re unpacking a lot of iPad 2′s this morning!
We’ve also got some ideas about how to celebrate with our users. Stay tuned for more.
Can’t wait for 100,000,000.

Congratulations, guys! I used to worry that Evernote might not last until I’m 80 but maybe I have nothing to worry about

Hey! Where is our favorite graph – the layer cake one? Love that slide! Would love to see what it looks like at 10 million users. Congratulations to you all on the 10 million user milestone! I am teaching a class on “How to Use Evernote” tomorrow night. This will be a fun stat to share.

Where is the classism not new to Evernote but it would be cool to find other ways to use Evernote

Congratulations on 10,000,000 registered users!
Ever since I found out about Evernote, I really enjoy it! I really don’t know how many can get all their notes in 60 MB.
I am glad to be a premium member. It is definitely worth it!

Why the independent metrics look different ?

There are a number of reason why those numbers are not accurate. The main one is that the majority of Evernote users interact with the product through native mobile and desktop applications. Web analytics sites aren’t able to track that.
Scott Germaise
Congrats. As premium user across two MacBooks, a Win7 PC, iPad and iPhone I find myself using Evernote at least several times per week and sometimes daily. Good stuff.
fjpoblam
Congratulations, Evernote folk! And don’t you worry about MacOSX user loyalty after Lion. Apple isn’t imaginative enough to come up with a replacement for Evernote. Just keep to your root values as always, and you’ll keep your root user base. Evernote FTW!
Gregg
OK 10 million. For the love of pete, WHEN will Mac get pin code security like Android (?) got 2 months ago, AND the ability to highlite notes in the app??
Alan Henderson
Just to celebrate, what about that local client for Linux that we’ve been begging for?
Anon
I’m one of the premium users. Thank you very much for the best note taking software.
Levi Wallach
Been watching you guys and using your great service for over two years and am continually impressed with how you’ve built the app and the company over such a short period. Congrats on well-deserved success!

Selecting which digital camcorder is correct for your recording purposes is usually a tough selection and procedure. There are quite a few elements which you ought to take into consideration prior to selecting a digital camcorder including the picture resolution, new technology, screen sizes, recording strategies, as well as other selections.
