Google CEO — Take Your Data and Run

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the web-two-point-oh-no-there-goes-our-monopoly dept.

BobB writes to tell us that Google is promising to make the data they store for end users more portable and is urging other companies to do the same. From the article: "Making it simple for users to walk away from a Google service with which they are unhappy keeps the company honest and on its toes, and Google competitors should embrace this data portability principle, Eric Schmidt said at the Web 2.0 Conference in San Francisco."
