Cucku didn’t invent “social backup,” but they are, to the best of my knowledge, the only backup provider that uses Skype’s peer-to-peer network to transfer your files to your chosen partner’s computer.

Is this the late-late-early show or the early-early-late show? Looking at my calendar and asking myself what the chances are that I'll manage to write a second column by Friday (when I have to get up at 4:30 AM to get ready for the BACN meeting at 7:30 AM), I decided just to post-date this and send it out now.
