That must have been a big disaster for magnolia website. Now this is where data back-up comes in so very handy.

That would be devastating if it becomes a new trend. Although I have been making back ups of all my data, somehow there are always a couple of data that I missed to back up, better get on with google docs then to make back ups or be real sorry later.

The first rule of computing is “keep a backup”, or is it “when in doubt, reboot”? Either way, the pretext is the same. Our technology is as imperfect as we are. That’s the main reason, we may not see a paperless office in my lifetime, and why I have trouble finding my car keys.

Well, I’d like to say I completely agree with your opionion, although I have never used that site, but I think a backup is very necessary to websites and blogs, once your website is broken, you could rebuild your website by the backup.

Speaking of back-ups a copy of all of my articles is kept in Google Docs. I think this is a great way to back up things and access them from any computer. I also have external drives here but a good back up must off site.

Hi Jeff,

I think it is a version of the dot bomb crash. It’s showing which social media company was robust enough to withstand all the pressure from outside.We will be seeing which company uses what strategy to get participants. They may only have a broad or focused front, but having a deep bench also counts in the game.

All the best,

Erwin
