I rarely get pumped out about tech startups — they are a dime a dozen — and the ideas behind them are usually bad.

Evernote is an exciting startup — when I day-dream about the future of the web — this is the sort of thing I imagine.

It’s a service that lets you take pictures of anything, and upload them. Simple enough. The twist is that it has out-of-this-world optical character recognition and will find snippets of text wherever they appear on the image — and then evernote creates a full-text search engine (think google) of that text –
This is a totally amazing startup, and I won’t be surprised if they get snapped up by one of the big boys.

Keep your eye on their site:  http://www.evernote.com/
