I would love something like this. Ideally, I would want something that stores all of the content in a single file/folder/partition (I don't care which) and will not render my data inaccessible if I simply copy/mirror it somewhere else.
From that point, I imagine a company having an open protocol for accessing my music/pictures/blog posts, and then selling the best client using this protocol.
Really, the key for me is less about absolute privacy, but more about the ability to extremely easily take my data and run.
- jwhitlark 15y agoI'm not sure data portability is enough these days. I also need some minimum functionality to remain in the event of a dispute or service shutdown. In the real world, escrow (sort of) fills this need. Perhaps a hybrid Amazon/Heroku that also acted as an escrow agent? Enforcing that apps/services followed the data access rules and made sure that the service would keep running on that instance, even if the company went under? I'd pay extra (up front) for that.
