Goodbye, Zoogmo: Just How Viable Is Social Backup, Anyway?

December 7, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

I wrote about “social backup” provider Zoogmo back in 2007. At that time, they summed up their service as follows: “With Zoogmo you get FREE unlimited backup that automatically runs in the background and lets you protect your data at multiple remote locations that YOU choose.” I wondered then about their business model. It now seems possible they didn’t have one, because I just received the … [Read more...]

The CrashPlan Social Backup Club: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 02-02-07

February 2, 2007 by Sallie Goetsch 1 Comment

Rafe Needleman of Webware came up with a great headline for his post about CrashPlan: “Back Up Your Mom.” For me, at least, this phrase conjures images out of science fiction novels where people keep clones of themselves in case of injury. Now and then I’m sure a spare mom would be useful for all of us, but of course that’s not what he meant. CrashPlan (www.crashplan.com) is a new service for Mac … [Read more...]
