I think this is great news. Evernote is a fantastic company, and I think they have a really good shot at changing the way normal people keep track of stuff in their head.
They definitely have a lot of areas to expand. I'd be happy if they used this money to focus on hardware; there are a zillion things you can do to bridge the awesomeness of digital recordkeeping with the constraints of our physical world. Have you seen the Sixth Sense that MIT Media Lab has been working on? (http://www.pranavmistry.com/projects/sixthsense/). Yeah -- I want that for Evernote.
