Penzu helps you write your thoughts privately online, but why? (Download Squad)

Aug 18th 2010 2:41AM Perhaps Erez Zukerman should have kept this RSS post private. I'm just saying.

I wanted a journal that is PRIVATE, that I could keep safe with encryption, and access it anywhere. On any platform, and ESPECIALLY from my phone which is with me all the time. In minutes of using Penzu, I upgraded to Pro! I've told all my friends on Facebook about it.

Penzu fits the bill perfectly. Everything else is icing on the cake.(check out all the features) To think I actually found it by accident. While googling journal applications, all the online stuff was for the world to see. I guess if you have an over inflated ego, and feel the need to blab to the world the most insignificant things you feel is so important in your world/mind, then go ahead and use the public journals and blogs.

Penzu fills a need for me to document my thoughs easily and in private.
The ease of use is amazing, The tags. Wonderful!
The ability to take photos with my phone, of events, and attach them to the entry, while documenting the moment, in real time, is simply smart!
I don't have to recall what I experienced. I simply journal it using Penzu Mobile!

I tried using Google Docs,Google Notebooks, computer applications etc.
The problem I've found is they aren't as immediate as Penzu. With Google, you have to log in, set it up, attach photos or scans after the fact, etc. The other applications are proprietary, and you have to migrate the journal if you change platforms.
Paper journals are a pain because you have to archive them and store them in a safe place. Harvesting is harder if you are searching for entries.

I've had the experience of people reading mine. So I quit writting. I kept stuff on my computers, but as in the past, when moving to another platform, Typewritter, DOS, Word Perfect, MS Works, Word (and all it's versions), Plain Text, Windows, Mac, I've always either have to print them out, or translate them someway. This is a lot's simpler.

I really think Erez Zukerman's, is more about why would anyone want to keep their writings private than whether or not Penzu is a viable offering.

Yes, Erez, a web application( I doubt you've use it.), that can be accessed anywhere via the web for private use/writing, or public if I choose.

What's so hard to understand about that?
