Criticisms made of Web 2.0 facilities often run along the lines of "What happens if the company you are using goes bust, turns off it's servers, starts to charge, loses interest, sells your details to the highest bidder etc. etc."
Well take a little look at what's happening to this City Academy.
"Governors reassured parents that it was "business as usual for all
students" and said reports about Amey's involvement should not give
cause for concern."
Ha!
They've been saying that about banks of late.
Now I know that a Web 2.0 type services provider and a City Academy are not really the same kind of beast ..... but what would happen if Google put up their prices or started to charge for something that many of us might have to come to depend on.
Where are my digital photographs stored? Where are my blogs backed up? Where is my address book? My college emails? My pieces of collaborative writing?
Time to think about my backing up policy!
