Following a discussion with an English speaker, this is the translation of the last part of my article about Web 2.0 services, online data and your data independence: [It's all about you][1] Here a simple list of questions you should try to answer: * How many distant services you are using for your professional activity? * How many persons are dependent of these services in your structure? * Are there other APIs on the market, softwares which work alike? (Are you sure you will be able to use another service without troubles?) * Have you tested these services or softwares? What will you win, what will you loose? * Can you export your data from the service? How much time does it take to export a large volume of data? * Is the exporting data format usable with loosing information? You might have enriched your raw data by putting them on a service, can you get back the data and the products of your data work? * What are the damages for your own activity if the service disappear suddenly?
