Evernote Food is a new website and app which you can instal on you phone or search on the web. Evernote Food can be used by people who love to cook and eat. Evernote helps you to explore, orden, retrieve and share dishes an restaurants. Find dishes by name or ingredients you feel like eating. You can find restaurants by location or kitchen, or by browsing through the pictures of the dishes. With evernote it’s also possible to save the food you ate and to remind these dishes better you can add pictures, location, labels and notes.

Why is it cool?

We live in a time where everyone wants to share. Evernote is linked to Twitter an Facebook so you can share dishes and self cooked meals. You also get inspired by other people who are sharing there information. Another kind of media that is linked to Evernote is Foursquare, this helps you to locate restaurants in your neighbourhood or in places where you want to search. Also it saves time, instead of searching the internet to find the right places to eat with the meals you prefer, Evernote will show you all the restaurants that are interesting for you to visit. you never have to buy cooking books again because with one tap you will find your favourite food all in one site/app.

Why has it future growth potential?

Nowadays people are used to eat unhealthy meals because they don’t have the time to sort out healthy dishes and  to search all the ingredients which you need to make a healthy meal. But with Evernote Food you will get a quick inspiration and information boost in food. Itwill always remember you what you ate and where so you can eat it again or go to that special place again.

CARROT

                     What is it?

Carrot is a new app which you can install on your mobile phone. Many people make a to-do list when they are losing the view on what they have left to do. And  if they have a to-do list, they are not doing what they had planned to do. But now with this new app you are being motivated to succeed your ”to-do’s” and being rewarded for it, for example by being rewarded with a free update or other presents if you get enough points by getting tasks done. But… if you don’t complete the tasks carrot will show a lot of attitude and will get angry with you simply because you exist. So you can say that she’s got two different personalities..

Why is it cool?

Carrot actually stimulates you in doing you’re tasks by rewarding you. So carrot has got two benefits, you are getting your ”to-do’s” done and you get a reward for doing it. Also it is a kind of game you are playing but with benefits in real life.

Why does it have future growing potential?

People are oftenmaking to-do lists but are never completing them, also there are a lot of apps which helps you to make these lists but never actually motivates you to do them. But Carrot is different, it’s not only useful, but it’s also a game which is fun to play!
