In software development term, this is probably an over engineering. Spend all the effort to setup your own data cloud before it becomes a fact that you really need it, that is, Google decides to change their cloud service so that it's no longer usable to you. Of course you could argue that what if one day Google simply disable the data exporting feature without any notice, in that case you would have no time to migrate. I think that risk is low enough for me to live with.
- mhaymo 14y agoGoogle's service is already problematic in that it compromises my privacy and the privacy of my contacts. I'd rather not share my schedule with Google, and I feel uncomfortable putting additional information in my contacts knowing that it will be synced to them. I've certainly never been given permission by my friends to share their home address with Google or any other company.
