 * What are the weaknesses of Evernote? **
 * Members must download the Clipper separately. Some members may not know to download it.
 * An overall weakness is there is nothing proprietary about Evernote in a competitive market.
 * There are many applications that do relatively the same thing as Evernote does.
 * How people come to choose Evernote over the other options is probably a marketing issue.
