In a handful of years we have gone from hosting everything on our computers to hosting everything with someone else. Not just files and email but conversations with our friends and family (Facebook) and general ramblings about the world (Twitter) and our personal photo albums (Flickr, etc). Facebook got slapped by their community for trying to claim dominion over this information, but sooner or later a creeping ownership battle is going to take place on the Net over who owns your data. We have already gone too far down the road to losing control over our information, putting our faith in big centralized systems controlled by a handful of people. We should have ultimate dominion over our own data. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:294646 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
