Google’s Data Liberation Front

Filed Under Cloud Computing

Memo to self – must-post-more-often..

Saw this provocative Infoweek piece on slashdot about lack of Data portability in the cloud.It reminded me to note here the efforts of the Data Liberation Front,a team of Google engineers committed to making data easy to export from Google. Their stated goal is to keep the company honest by making it easy customers to leave their platform, thereby motivating themselves to compete with the best service rather than relying on the incumbents advantage.Not to sound like a Google fanboy (again), but this is a commendable effort.
