Part of the open services discussion at barcamp yesterday was about permanence: how do you guarantee that your data is always available so that you can take it and go elsewhere with it? Doc Searls has one solution to the problem:
Since I’m a Berkman fellow at Harvard, and the blogs here are well-supported, and they’ll continue to be supported after my fellowship is over — and since Harvard has been around since 1636 — [Harvard’s blogging server] seemed like a good choice.
(emphasis mine.)
Unfortunately since they’re notorious for grade-inflation, while we know it’ll be around forever, I’m not sure I’d trust it to be accurate. ;-)
