PayPal to offer Online Storage, Online Storage Market to heatup
Details are not fully fleshed out, however I’m not surprised as TechCrunch reports. More news on Techmeme. I predict that nearly every major website will offer online storage.
Read my thoughts on the Future of Online Storage, or cruise all posts labeled Data Storage.
David Berkowitz from MediaPost commenents on the search marketing angle to it. We discuss that at some point the model will flip and online data storage companies will PAY consumers to upload content. (Revver has started that model with Online Video)
There are so many online storage companies, see this here and here.

I read your “40 points.” Very interesting! I’m also interested in what happens to the data beyond your being able to access it from multiple locations/computers (as I do now with Dabble DB). I’d also like to see online storage companies pay people for identity information (for example, pay me for access to my personal health and financial information) so that folks are compensated for the the value generated from use of personal data, as I discussed here:
