I like some of the concepts behind Tonido, but ultimately it remains just another closed platform. As an open protocol, specification or platform, it could enable some interesting distributed applications.

It's been awhile since I've looked at Tonido, but this seemed to be the case last I checked.

Title should say "Tonido Ad"

I dont see any real arguments here except "cloud services can go down"

You are missing the point here. The real point is ownership of data. who owns it? Cloud has its uses. But for personal data you better of keeping it in your control. It is not that difficult.

You're right that the point of the cloud computing conversation should be ownership of data.

However, the point of this article is little more than "Use Tonido."

what is the reason for negative vote?

Meh! The everyone runs their own personal server model is flawed. It imposes responsibility on the user. I'm fairly technically adept and I don't want to have to track yet another service on my computer. Nor is it really compatible with any form of mobile computing. The cloud is here to stay. Now we just need to figure out how to keep a leash on it.

when a fire consumes your personal cloud...

when a flood drowns out your personal cloud...

when a thief takes your personal cloud...

it's all a trade-off i suppose.

So... what is Tonido again ?

and then when your personal cloud goes down ...

u still own the data :)
