We have come across a ton of note taking apps recently. For the most part, however, they all seem to fall down in one area or another. They are either too bulky, or don’t allow real-time collaboration, or actually cot money, or are difficult to navigate – we’re looking at you Google Drive. However, CrowdNotes thinks that they have figured out a solution. Martijn Aurik of CrowdNotes was kind enough to answer a few questions for us.
