I need some help…

Well it seems some bright spark and Google felt the need to delete my Google Place listing and because of the fantastic way the Places service has been setup by Google, they can’t ‘revive’ my old listing, so all the reviews I had have miraculously vanished. Great Google, just BLOODY great!

Emails have been going back and forth between me and some guy at Google for the past week, and new it seems then have just stopped emailing me back, it’s been 2 days since the last email saying ‘Sorry we can not get your data back’

Yet another reason not to trust the ‘Cloud’

Would you trust anyone with the keys to your house, bank account details or even the passwords to your online life? I’m guessing no is the answer. so why would you allow yourself to be at the mercy of an ‘online’ company with you ‘online’ data?

I have never trusted my data to be anywhere except in my possession, a place where I can get to it 24/7 and knowing that NO ONE can see ANYTHING I don’t want them to see, Calendar appointment, Address Book details, files etc.
