I've added an option in the sign up process to use the public feed (no password required) of WordPress blogs instead of the private feed (password required). If you have more suggestions don't hesitate to contact me. Hi Ike, thanks for writing about BlogBackupr.

Google yourself. See how much you find out about yourself from just writing to each other using your real name on a blog. Or determine if someone else is using your name while writing on blogs and message boards. In the last 24 hours I have received e-mails containing written Terms of Use and Privacy Policies from "Scripts-Howard" and "My Space". It looks like a memo went out to make sure your back is covered. You are concerned about your identity being compromised. Google yourself.

As you said, the guy's intentions may be pure, but he needs to make his privacy policy very clear and very prominent. I don't understand why this service is necessary though, since my ISP backs up my site and blog databases daily as part of their service. If you shop around, you'll find that many reputable ISPs offer daily database backup. Interesting post Ike.

Even tech-savvy people can blind themselves to password dangers, because they want to be the first to use a solution to a problem they don't yet have! (It's not like there isn't already an Export function for these blog engines...) Excellent point, Susan.

I wonder just how many people will avail of this free service. Until people try it out, we will never be sure if this guy is the real deal or not. I'm sure he himself realizes how carefully people will react to his identity theft prevention process. Trust is not something to be given lightly. Some movies might make out trusting seem so easy but even though you feel like you can trust a person, it's best to tread cautiously. The offer itself sounds so suspicious.

We all take daily risks on the Internet, and sometimes I think we take more than we normally would because we're doing things at work, etc., where we are greatly distracted. Also, there is the possibility that many people succumb to the "I want to be first to have the latest technology" syndrome, which you address.

Think I remember a story last week over security concerns stalling or at least being a concern for online shopping. Or, maybe, if it's free, a service opens up to that many more people, and simply by being a numbers game, you get a lot of people. And, a lot more information "out there." -Mike I wonder if there’s any correlation between the price of something and how much information one is willing to give up.

It will be interesting to see how high that climbs once the other social link-nets start pumping traffic. FYI — as of this comment, 113 people have bookmarked that site.
