Young startup (like ours) should understand that what keep their services out of being adopted by the mass is the inability for the same mass to 'free' their own data. For example, I wouldn't commit so much time into a service if I knew i wouldn't be able to export it when I'd like to. By giving your users the freedom to export and leave you when they want, you communicate them that you're self-confident about your service, that you'll do whatever is needed to keep them happy and work hard for them staying with you. I can say that I am going to adopt all the standards around to make the life easy for my future users to be able to export their identity out of my platform if they wish to, because I know I would like to do it myself, and I know this is going to be standard in few years. Thanks for the inspiration! Hey Chris,
