The same applies here…What happens if your hard disk crashes or your loose your laptop on travel?

However, there are a lot of other concerns from end user angle, including split of data across too many web sites. This would certainly not be good from a long term perspective.

As major corporates have learnt, individuals would soon start seeing that, it is the data that is precious. and they could start seeing that as a barrier in using many upcoming hosted services.
