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.

    Good idea. Not sure how much sharing is possible now, but hopefully it’s an aid in documenting.

    So if we opt go premium before the end of the March, we’ll be contributing to the relief efforts? This could be another great way to help out Japan for us users as well..

      NTT, we are donating the revenue received from Japanese users only. So, if you are a Japanese user, then you will contribute to the relief effort.

    That’s a nice thing you’re doing. I stumbled across a Japanese blogger who blogs in English, he was saying when phones failed, land line and cell, the internet came through for him in communicating with his family directly after the quake in Tokyo. (Which means the internet is doing exactly what it’s designed to do – excellent.) It also means people will be able to use evernote more easily than some other types of tools in the short run.
