Google Replacing 'Scratchpad' with Google 'Keep'?

We first noticed that Google's Scratchpad app on Chrome OS disappeared last November. Not to long ago, Google introduced Google Keep. Which is their new "scratchpad app". It's basically their answer to Evernote, but still in a very early stage, so not everyone will be switching from Evernote to Google Keep.

Google Keep has a mobile app, as well as a web app and Chrome extensions/apps. If you've used Scratchpad lately, you've probably seen the image shown above. It basically directs you into Google Keep. So it appears Scratchpad is turning into Google Keep. So no it's not part of Google's Spring Cleaning list, but it doesn't look like it's coming back soon.

Additionally, you can download your notes from Scratchpad in a .zip file so you can take them wherever you want. You can check out the source link down below for more information.
