What a great week for 3banana!

When you wake up to find makeuseof.com using words like "coolness" and "simple and easy" to describe 3banana Notes and urges you "check out the super-portable, super-simple 3banana" -- you know it's shaping up to be a good week.

And when Lifehacker chimes in with "If you're looking for a simple way to take, store, and share notes in the cloud, 3Banana makes organizing your notes easy with notes based on in-text hashtags" -- you know it's going to be a great week!

But to learn we're also Big In Japan -- it's enough to pop some champagne -- and roll on the floor! Check out what they're saying according to Google translation:

"Note that for all that paper and pencil all the Ta-ta for now ... you've completely lost your mind to the convenience of I think you are."

Ha!

Joking aside, it looks like people everywhere are finding 3banana Notes to be a really easy solution to take, publish, and share their notes from their mobile devices to the web -- and back. And that's our goal!

Hardgeek.com is onto us too, using terms like "exciting" and "easy" -- to describe both the application as a whole and to describe 3banana's awesome features:

"Aren’t these features enough for you to switch from your old note making application to 3banana? There are lot of other cool features too, which will make your daily tasks well ordered and synchronized that too in a simpler manner."

Can it get better?? Yes!

ReadWriteWeb tells the world (just now as I'm typing this):

"... 3Banana takes a more social approach as a note taking company. Launched early this year, 3Banana touts a simple Twitter-like interface and users share their notes, photos and links via Twitter, Facebook and email from their iPhone or Android phone. This approach also employs hashtags as labels. If you're keeping notes for a collaborative project, this might be the more convenient choice to capture your ideas. If your notes are meant for personal private consumption, Evernote or an old fashioned pen and paper are still probably your best bet."

(But we don't necessarily agree, Dana, that 3banana falters for "private consumption" -- in fact most folks tend to keep notes private and 3banana's simple interface is still a top choice...)

This fun stuff comes down the pike at the same time Steve was up in Boston this week keynoting the Games For Health conference where it looks like there's an awaking in the health industry of how new technologies that are "super-portable" and "super-simple" (a-hem!) will revolutionize the landscape. Enter 3banana ....

A great week indeed.

Any chance of a true desktop application? I'm happy living in the cloud, but occasionally life takes us off the grid, and it would be nice to have access via my mobile and my laptop when that happens. Perhaps even an AdobeAir app w/ local note backups on the hdd? Anyway, that is my only complaint, this app is one my favorites, and I no longer miss Evernote :) Thanks!

Yours is the first note app I've found for android that does what I want. I would have thought google would have this mobile cloud data thing figured out but you beat them to the punch! Good work.

I second what Pope is asking for, a desktop application to sync with the webapp and mobile app. That would be super. Thanks for 3banana!
