Twitter Obituaries & Online Backups

What?

Yeah that’s a weird combo of items, but it’s what I’ve seen today.

On to the first item:

Twitter Obituaries

So I ran across this cool page today where people are posting in 140 words or less what the obituary would say if Twitter were to die.

Very, very creative posts.

What if Twitter did disappear? It hasn’t been around too long, but it’s taken the world by storm. I think there would be a fair amount of worldwide Twitter withdrawal if it did go the way of the dinosaurs.

Online Backups

This might not be what you think.

Everybody knows it’s a good idea to backup your stuff right? But what about all the stuff you have out there in the “cloud”?

There are many options to back that stuff up, so if you’re favorite cloud service goes the way of the dinosaurs, you have your stuff that was stored on that cloud service.

Check out Backupify.

Cas passed this one on to me today via email. I’m probably going to sign up because it looks like this type of service will save my ass someday, since I rely heavily on the cloud. Hopefully the cloud never clears, but if it does, we can be prepared.
