I've learned a hard lesson in trusting cloud services. Unfortunately just having a copy of your data isn't enough; it's a lot of work to build a useful product. In the meantime I will be more careful about which companies I trust.

I gave a talk — in French — about this, IndieWeb in general, and POSSE specifically: Ne vous laissez plus déPOSSEder de vos contenus !.
