I wonder what's the current "funding" status of Evernote. It is one of those services that has existed for quite some time. I remember when it had just started 20+ years ago. It was supposedly revolutionary, part of the new "web 2" wave. I am surprised it is still going as a company.

- jen729w 3y agoDoes anyone know the origin of this company’s name? ‘Spoon bending’ of course is the fraudulent claim by people like Uri Geller that they have supernatural powers that enable them to bend spoons. Whereas they’re just performing a magic trick. So I could see ‘Bending Spoons’ as a company name a bunch of ways. Either they admire Uri, or they’re mocking the nonsense. Or it’s unrelated.

- happytoexplain 3y agoSounds like they failed to realize the origin of the concept as it relates to charlatanism: > The meaning of the name came [ … ] from the movie The Matrix. We loved it immediately because it captured some big ideas we believed in—and still believe in. These are the power of the mind to do what seems impossible, like bending spoons with your thoughts, and the value of persevering to achieve those goals.
