Springpad vs Evernote


 Springpad and Evernote have both been out for a while and in all honesty, some people may prefer one over the other, they can both be used by one person for seperate tasks. Each app also has key features that excel over the other. So let's begin.
On starting both, visually Springpad is more appealing. Prettier graphics, seems like a smooth interface, and doesn't seem as clunky as Evernote. I often have an issue with Evernote where I have to wait long amounts of time as it attempts to sync and sometimes hangs on a certain percent. Though this is annoyance is rare, it happens but it's definately not the end of the world.
As for as organization goes, both are great and are life savers. Evernote is simple to use and just as easy to organize each note. Though it may be a simple interface, simplicity is sometimes what we need. Springpad can sometimes be confusing due to the features and interface, but after a few minutes of clicking around you're ready to go. 
One feature that that Springpad absolutely destroys Evernote is with the social features and also suggestions built into the application. The search feature is an amazing tool to look for your hobbies and interests. By adding your friends and if they allow it, you can see their interests. If that doesn't appeal to you, you can browse some of the most popular stuff on Springpad while using this feature.

In all honesty, I love them both but Springpad does it for me. You can't go wrong with either, especially if you're as messy and disorganized as I am.
