Web 2.0 looking for lock-in
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm glad that Google is leading the way in opening up data,
| crushing the "data as lock-in" strategy that many Web 2.0
| companies have come to embrace.

| Now we just need to maintain the same commitment to openness
| in open source.

Google opens up your data...to you

| The lock-in of data is my strongest complaint about Microsoft's
| SharePoint product (regardless of whether they ever figure out
| what SharePoint 2007 actually does). It is, plain and simple, the
| future of enterprise lock-in. It's free to use the base version,
| free to let SharePoint suck in your content, free to let these
| manacled repositories mushroom throughout one's organization...but
| very unfree (in terms of both cost and its proprietary nature) to
| migrate that content out of those repositories. Easy in, difficult out.
