Japanese Earthquake Relief

Our Notes | By Phil Libin
 

In the past year, Japan has become our second home. We are deeply saddened by yesterday’s enormous earthquake and tsunami. In the hope of providing some help to those working to recover and rebuild from this disaster, we are doing two things:

  • Donating 100% of this month’s revenue from currently-paying Evernote Premium subscribers in Japan to local earthquake relief efforts.
  • Upgrading all of our free Japanese users to Evernote Premium for one month.

We realize that this is only a small comfort, but we hope that people can use the added capabilities of Premium accounts to record, document, organize and share information useful for rebuilding without having to worry about the limitations of the free version.

We are very grateful for the warm reception that Evernote has received in Japan and for the opportunity to play a small part in the inevitable recovery.

    Thank you for your support. I was wondering why our account become a premium course. Now I understand that this is your sincere expression to the disaster.

    I live in the western part of Japan, so I cannot do anything but watching TV news like you all. Because no rescue routes has been established.

    Anyway, we, Japanese all appreciate your kindness.

    Thank you for your support for Japan.
    Now, Google launch a new service called “Evacuees Lists”.

    They are captured by camera, and some of those lists are written by hand.

    I think it is difficult to search the names in the lists, because you need to look for them one by one.
    I wonder if Evernote launch the similar service as your image searching feature is marvelous.

    Please your consideration.

    Kind Regards,

    Thank you so much for your kindness.
    I am glad to hear that part of my subscription fee goes to those who really need it immediately.
    I will never forget this and promise to stay loyal to evernote.
    I personally live in Tokyo and I am not experiencing major difficulties, but people living up north in Tohoku area where the earthquake and tsunami struck most, they need a lot of support; physically and mentally.
    I wish they could read all those comments but I guess they won’t have internet access right now.
    I hope the donation from evernote will help recover those areas from this disaster soon.

    So many countries are helping us, we really are thankful for your support.
    Thank you so much.

    You guys are awesome! I’m a free Evernote user so I’m not funding your donation directly but you’ve inspired me to make another donation to help the people in Japan. ~Paul

    説明
    For the support from Evernote, I could gather the photos of Japanese the sufferers who started their new lives via Internet. So I shared them with you.

    I do not have time to translate Japanese footnote into English. Sorry for your inconvenience.
