The Data Liberation Front

Google being serious about being open. I’ve often wondered why they offer so many ways to get your stuff out of Google apps (e.g. like all the data you can pull out of Analytics). Their motto:

Users should be able to control the data they store in
any of Google’s products. Our team’s goal is to
make it easier for them to move data in and out.

More places should do this (*cough* *cough* Facebook Twitter MySpace etc etc etc *cough* *cough*).
