Comment on Productivity Applications: 5 That Rock, 5 That Don’t, and 5 That are Underrated

"Evernote is an application that allows you to take pictures of objects that you wish to remember, and then search for that object later. Guess what else does this? A camera."

There's just one problem: Evernote is a note taking application that happens to be able to OCR images and allow you to search the text. Seems that someone is reviewing a tool that he has never used?

Remember the Milk has primarily picked up steam (IMO) because Google hasn't pushed/facilitated third-party adoption. Google Tasks is great if you're using Gmail, in a browser. Not so much if you want to access tasks from another application, mobile device, etc.

And when did Twitter claim to be any form of productivity app/tool?

This article seems to compare brainstorming apps to task trackers and a variety of other tools, claiming that some are "better" than others. It's not that I disagree with all of the points, but it is hard to follow/swallow.
