Evernote Reaches 3 Million Users

Since reaching two million users, Evernote Corp. has launched and revamped several new clients and product updates, including the iPad and Windows desktop, as well as new integrations (with Lexmark printers/AIOs, Sony VAIO, and Samsung Behold II), and added new languages, including French, Swedish, Czech, Japanese and Portuguese. Statistics have shown that 44% of Evernote’s new users come from outside the US. Now, the company is proud to announce hitting three million subscribers.

“We’ve got a pretty sophisticated monitoring system at the Evernote datacenter that’s constantly watching over our servers, databases and load balancers,” Phil Libin writes on the Evernote blog. “At the slightest hint of trouble, it sends out pre-configured alerts and our 24/7 operations team springs to appropriate action. A few days ago, the following alert flashed across in-boxes and cell phones all over the company:

“PROBLEM: 3 Millionth User Alert
2010.04.29/13:04:47
Severity: Warning
Holy crap, 3,000,000 Evernote users!

And we sprung, although this time the appropriate action was to have a drink,” Libin’s post reads. He reveals that Evernote reached this landmark in record time too. According to the company’s stats, “It took us 15 months to get our first million users, 7 months for the second million and only 4 month for the third million. That’s over 8,000 new users every day!”, the visibly-enthusiastic Phil Libin reports. He names two relatively new sources as responsible for providing a big boost in the past few months – international users and partnerships.

“We are deeply thankful to all of our users,” Libin adds. “Thank you for finding us, for sticking with us, and for all of your tireless feedback to make us better.” He goes on to thank partners, and to reveal that, “Major new improvements” are on their way for all versions of Evernote in the coming months. Fans should also expect “a big surprise or two.”

Evernote has been a Softpedia favorite since its debut in 2008. The app enables users to save their ideas, things they see and like, and then it makes these notes easily searchable on pretty much any device. It can read text inside images, and even handwritten notes. Our site has kept close watch of every major (and minor) development, including the release of the iPhone client, and the iPad-specific version. Evernote for the iPad is regarded as a powerful tool for research and class notes, as well as for capturing blog ideas and design inspiration.
