NFC phone-tap app makes money! Touchanote is getting $50,000 of Evernote's VC cash as the winner of the company's developer competition, turning Touchanote into the most profitable NFC app ever.

If you want to stick a note on your fridge, use a post-it:
1) You can read it without having to have your phone on you.
2) You can update it without tapping away on some pathetic excuse for a keyboard, going quietly batshit insane in the process.
3) When you take it to the supermarket, you can easily read it without either having to nip home to wave your phone at the fridge, or navigate some tosser's cloud website on a phone screen.
4) If someone else does the shopping, they are not SOL on knowing what to get.
