Default Online site for cataloging books, movies and music

I came across this really nice online website to catalogue your
collection of books. It is at www.gurulib.com. I have catalogued my
collection at www.gurulib.com/coolabcgirl

Take a peek at my collection.

Hello Michael,
I used the wording like that to get an unbiased opinion on a website
that i put lot of effort on making. If I tell the group that I did it
most people wont look at it. I am not charging anyone anything. I just
wanted to know how people think about my work.

Thanks and Regards
Rana Basheer

If you were a regular reader of this Newsgroup you'd realise
that proposers of online book catalogues pester this Newsgroup
for comments on their "free" facilities which in reality
are commercial propositions.

They do this because Usenet is free, Webspace is now becoming
cheaper and because they're sufficiently stupid and ill informed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
not to know that schemes for online storage have been in existence
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
for the past fifteen years.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

All such schemes, even those with large financial resources
behind them, have been an abject failure.

This a a Book Collecting NewsGroup not a sounding board for
clapped out projects based on secondhand ideas which are
fifteen years behind the times.

This is the opininion of the much respected Robert X.
Cringely on online strorage.

If I was writing this column two years ago, I might be covering the whole
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
area of Internet data storage, for that was at a time when you could get
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
free data storage on web sites - a business that has pretty much gone away.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[ Two years ago. Penny dropped yet, has it ? ]


And what's interesting is not that those businesses existed, but what
lessons they taught us through their departure. If you hand over your data
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
to some third party, what happens when they go out of business or change
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
their policies such that the erotic e-mail you were saving to savor in your
golden years is suddenly gone? Even mighty Microsoft has been whittling down
the storage for its Hotmail users. They recently eliminated long term
storage of read mail for certain users, making the mistake of implementing
the
change - erasing the messages - before announcing that they were going to do
so.


Can you trust a third party to reliably hold your data? I don't, and I don't
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^
think you should, either.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And this leads us, thankfully, to an area where I think there is
considerable
room for growth - personal private and mobile data storage. Why shouldn't we
be able to take with us all the data we really
value?I think the data we really value is a small subset of the data stored
in our PCs. I was amazed to learn, for example, that user data typically
comprises less than 10 percent of the data on most PC hard drives. The rest
is application and system code. Think about it. You have a dozen or more
applications and probably the installer for each on your system, yet how
many letters or reports have you actually done with that word processor,
and what are the total storage requirements for all those spreadsheets
for your failed Internet startups? It is a lot less than you think.
