Hi All, I have been reading about so many people moving things to Google Docs or Flickr. Aren't you afraid that they could just fold someday? I am nervous to rely on third-party solutions since there is no guarantee. We tell contributors to the Maine Memory Network NOT to use our servers as their only storage system since the future is not guaranteed.
