I agree with most of your comment, but switching is not so easy for social networks. Flickr is largely a social network for photography enthusiasts.

- Groxx 17y agoThis is true. I was referring more to non-social-network web apps, like going between Google Docs and ZoHo, or switching version control hosts. There's typically a loss of some data there, but the really important stuff (raw content) can be pulled out and transferred with minimal effort. Social networks are about the opposite, as a lot of the content isn't really "yours", it's a result of interaction. I made no reference to this in my comment though, so thanks for pointing it out :)
