Just a question "Yahoo Shuts Down Mash"

Yahoo Shuts Down Mash, 0-4 On Social Networking


What will happen for you if you saw the following news while checking your mails or RSS?

Google Shuts Down Google Docs (will lose all your documents?)
Google Shuts Down Blogger (will lose all your ideas you wrote?)
Google Shuts Down Gmail (will lose your mails? "hell")

Facebook Shuts Down (will lose contact to all you friends?)



My Advice:
Use these tools, they are nice and its a must to use them, but please don't put all what you have there, to make your life rely on them, you still have space on your hard disc for saving files, you still have a small note to save your ideas, contacts,.......
