So Dave Winer has been talking about data silos, here is a link http://scripting.com/stories/2011/01/04/whatIMeanByTheOpenWeb.html

Question: If we use Facebook Connect for our service and for some reason Facebook revokes our API key we will be screwed. Our users data will be locked away and our users will no long be able to log onto our service and keep the data they had before. This seems like an overly high price to pay for an increase in accessibility. Thoughts?
