In the last few years I repeated the same cycle: register, start of use, enjoy, invite my family, get the announcement that it has been bought, export my data when they announce they shutting down, rinse and repeat. The first one was google reader. One day it was shut down and however I could exported my feeds, I was following a few people and read some really amazing article at least once a week which I could not find by myself. Also people I was following started to use 3 different platforms each with limited set of funcionality. I've been using an email client which was bought and killed by google. Online diary app I used is gone now. My todo app was bought and "integrated" into their product by Microsoft. (However, Kudos at the same time, I still can open the doc files I created in 99). Calendar app gone. About 90% of the mobile apps I bought on my iPhone 3G is not usable anymore (some of my favourite games gone forever). Even some of the software I bought for my business (and paid double price for the business license) is now gone or not usable because of lack of upgrades (I would have been happy to pay for the upgrade license). I'm really, really tired of the fact, that no matter if it is a website, a mobile app and from time to time, I need to do another cycle of exporting, finding a new tool for the same task, setup, import, etc. I'm privileged, because I can setup my own hosted tools for myself and my family, and my current job is also consist a serious amount of "tinkering". I would be seriously be happy to pay if I don't have to do the same cycle again and again and again and wasting my time doing instead of spending my time away from the keyboard. Currently there is no startup which can be trusted that they will be around in a year. So whenever anybody is asking to invest time and effort to start using their product, which has no clear plan about their revenue streams nothing about how they going to sustain their business is a huge red blinking no. When I hear the expression serial entrepreneur (I throw up in my mouth), it says to me, stay away. (And lets forget about privacy, because that is another massive can of dragon sized worms) Edit: business stuff added
