I'm very apprehensive about doing anything that relies so strongly on a third party service, and this is unfortunately a great illustration why.
I'm very conscious about always having a means to maintain control over my product. That might mean I'm actually shooting myself in the foot in other ways. But at least I can (hopefully) never fall victim to a situation like this.

In this case, however, the guy was expecting to get something for free to build his business on and that, I think, is just plain silly.
