Google Keep is not a new product. Why is this link notable?

  I've never seen it before. Maybe others missed its release too.

  Ditto, I've been using it for at least a year. For those of you new to it, make sure to check out the mobile app.. I use it for time & location-based notifications all the time.. love when it tells me what to buy WHEN I get to my grocery store of choice.

So how long until this gets forgotten about and then taken offline, like Google Base, Google Notebook, Google Sidewiki, Google Wave, and whatever other note-taking stuff I've missed?

  That's a fair criticism. It sucks when Google kills a product you've invested a lot of time and effort in, but Google Takeout should a least make the data recoverable after the fact. I don't see this product specifically listed in their Takeout offerings[1], but I think it is included in Google Drive. Edit: On the bright side, they have been making incremental improvements in the year or so since it was launched. The Android app has received several updates for better design and new features, including reminders based on location or time and the ability to make checklists.

  Google Base wasn't a note-taking service - it's a product database (now called Google Merchant Center)

Why do people up vote old news? I'm not trying to be a negative nancy but Google released this product a year ago with barely any updates after they failed to buy Evernote.

  In my case, because its been around for a year, yet I just discovered its existence from this post. Not that this says much for the product.

It's been around for a while, but I find it very handy. It does a good job as a simple Android note-taking application and the integration with Google Services makes it accessible anywhere without managing yet another account. Definitely no competition for the likes of Evernote, but I don't need anything that complicated. Just something to set reminders, keep lists, take notes, etc.
