I haven’t used Evernote to know enough, but at a 10,000 foot level, how trivial is it to scale any CRUD application to millions of customers? Considering scaling up and out, individual users, collaboration (if that’s a feature, I dunno), persistence and durability, i18n, personalization (if that exists in Evernote), and whatever metrics or information it captures about its users that might be sold to third parties.

Isn’t Google Docs CRUD to some extent? Any idea how much it is worth or even how many people support Google Docs?

Anyway, I’m not debating whether Evernote is actually worth whatever is it’s current valuation. I don’t agree with how can something be worth so much because its just CRUD.
