    64.   Robert, you embrace and endorse third party services all the time. You’re blog is stored on Wordpress.com rather than using the amazing Wordpress software on your own hosted site. If you don’t host it, IMO, you don’t own it. You’re giving a lot of content to companies that may or may not have your best interest in mind.

    Facebook sucks. Your endorsement of it almost got me interested, but ultimately, I can’t accept a social network owning my stuff when it’s just as easy to get a domain name, get hosting and keep control.

    I’m not 100% pure on my position because PodShow hosts my video files, but I have a contract with them and I value them as a partner…not just a company whose EULA I’ve agreed too.

    When I speak to kids in college. I tell them to register a domain and buy hosting and work to own their stuff. You should do the same thing. If you do, you’ll never get banned.
