Mindful of this, I do upload most of my keeper photos to Shutterfly. Hopefully they feel compelled to retain them for a very long time. However, I can't download from Shutterfly. Perhaps they have an alternate business plan as a digital storage utility.
Seems there's a need for such a service for personal use. xdrive.com offers something akin to that now. Keeping digital stuff stored on the net with reputable companies makes sense, if the price and security is right. Broadband penetration will certainly facilitate the up/download. A filing system must be searchable and easy to use. Seems to me that Google is the right company to offer a service like this given the massive server farms they already have in place for their search services, the Usenet archives, Picasa, and Blogger. Certainly is in line with their mission. (Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.)
