Office application Springpad is planning to shut down

SAN FRANCISCO May 23 morning news, the US technology blog The Verge quoted sources as saying that the office application Springpad is planning to shut down. Springpad failed to stand out in the competition with Evernote and Pinterest-like products.

Springpad is located in Boston and has been established for 6 years. The company has raised more than $ 7 million, while about 400,000 users currently use its digital laptop service. However, the development of Springpad has failed to keep up with Evernote, the latter announced this month, the number of users exceeded 100 million.

It is not yet clear when Springpad will be closed and how the company will tell users. However, according to sources, Springpad closure seems imminent. Last year, Springpad integrated a number of features that made it similar to Pinterest. Users can search for public content and follow others' notebooks. However, in a highly competitive market, Springpad has never set itself apart from the unique elements.

Sources said the Springpad team plans to switch to developing new products, but it is not clear what the new product is. Springpad declined to comment on the news. (Peacekeeping gold)
