Beware when enroling a 2.0 service

Related to the concerns arised from our last post, there is an important issue. What if you trust your content to a startup
which may disappear if they do not succed to find a buyer? There is the recent case of Stage6.

Of course, you may subscribe a product provided by a well known company as IBM and they may close down. But we know IBM business model is not a short-term one. Though, we know that most of web2.0 startup are based in a "grow as fast as you can and sell to Google". But what if Google does not buy?

There are lots of web2.0 services which are very useful, but should we trust our content? There might be this point when making a decision on which service we do enrol.
