If we operate under the assumption that with free services like facebook, twitter, instagram, gmail, etc -- can and will delete our content and revoke access to the service without warning at any point in time -- doesn't that make the service somewhat useless?
Most users operate under the assumption that there is some sort of guarantee that their account will continue to exist and they will have a consistent day-to-day experience. That is a BIG part that makes the service actually "useful".
- tracker1 11y agoWhat bugs me is when a service changes, and you lose your own name... Not talking my given/family name, but the online handle I've used since before the web is "tracker1" ... that was my alias on my google profile (before the switch to google+), and it still hasn't been offered back... half the first to pages of results on google's own search refer to my profile on other sites... it's irksome.
