Despite the, sometimes, annoying jargon used in the idea behind this project, at it's core it is a simple proposition. It will be interesting to see what/if corporations sign-up and whether the idea will get ripped off or iterated to death. Can there really be one common personal data holder on the web (short, mid and long term)?
If you look at the High Def discs, we have Blueray and HD-DVD targeting the same market, potentially with one of them dropping out at some point (a la Betamax) am I missing the point or can this same 'model' be representative of data portability? Sure we will find out.
