TEC #034 – Phil Libin interview at Leweb 2012

Hello,

For the 3rd time I had the opportunity to interview Phil Libin (CEO for Evernote) during the Leweb conference in Paris. This time though I did it in video so I am able to present you with sounds and images !

You can view the full video on YouTube below.

You can also get the audio file to listen to it on your mobile device or computer by subscribing to the RSS feed or via the iTunes link to the show.

Subjects covered during the interview :

  • The launch of Evernote Business (in 7 countries as of December 2012)
  • New features coming up in Q1 2013
  • Mobile strategy
  • And last but not least, the Evernote Socks !
During Leweb, Evernote also held a workshop which was in fact some kind of Press conference open to anyone to ask questions to Phil and to John McGeachie (VP Sales). I published my verbatim notes from that workshop in that blog post.
    For your information, the 2011audio interview of Phil is available in episode #011 and the 2010 interview is in this blog post.

      Until the next time, happy evernoting !

      Speakers : John McGeachie (VP Sales) and Phil Libin (CEO)

      Notes

      • “The design is the most important thing”
      • No design responsible in the board but Phil is the only employee
      • More formal product for education to come
      • Pilote school in Spain using Evernote
      • Security : 2 factor authentication to come
      • Finer granularity in the API to control rights given to third party application
      • 77% 1st experience of Evernote is done on mobile
      • We try to be featured on every platform so we get free ads this way
      • Business API:
        • Ways to determine which type of account you have
        • API for relative notes
        • Business specific API to allow application to view all the notes of the company

      • 4 Gb / month when Evernote Business 2Gb for the user +2Gb for the company
      • “No tricks philosophy”
      • “We don’t want to be a disk drive in the cloud”
      • No real-time editing down the road because it is usually a bad experience for users. Plus Gdocs does that really well.
      • Indexing of Office docs coming soon
      • Some things are coming with the Google API because many people at Evernote uses Google tools
      • Prediction : “In 3 years, I will have glasses with info in there”.

        • No group right management to allow access to specific notebooks
      • Hundreds of thousands of Smart Notebooks sold : big success
      • Some people are using future dates to have the note at the top internally at Evernote. This will be fixed by providing a way to flag a note.
      • Due dates are coming ! First quarter 2013.
      • Full windows redesign will be launched next year
