The internet is ablaze with the news of the blogging site Posterous being acquired by Twiter, and what that means for their current users. So they decided to post an FAQ to address common concerns, to which it was commented upon on by @Documentally:
Startups need to factor in data portability from the start.
I couldn’t agree more!
Your data should be your data
WikiPack was designed from the ground up on the principal that your data should always be your data, and never locked into a proprietary data format or system. Some people might express valid concern at trusting a startup company with their important data for this very reason; the company could vanish, and take your data with it. OK, so they might provide archaic tools for exporting your data, but it will likely be of little use to you outside the system it was created with.
So if I’m hit by a bus, or WikiPack vanishes into the startup graveyard, you can rest assured that you’ll still have all of your Markdown pages safe and sound, right there in your Dropbox folder for Posterity. (see what I did there? :)
