Personal cloud solutions--own your data
In the past I’ve written about the cloud space; the benefits, and the dangers. Recently I went to a family reunion, and recognized a great desire for everyone to stay in touch, and share family information. Photos, documents, old home movies. I ended up configuring a website for the family, containing a wiki, blogs, forums, galleries, event calendars and mailing lists.
All of this is contained within an environment called TikiWiki, and excellent, configurable all-purpose wiki-based website that can be as simple or as complex as you need it to be.
However, this article is not about TikiWiki, although I may visit a review of it in the future. No, right now I’d like to discuss an issue that could affect pretty much everyone: data in the cloud, and data sharing.
