That rather shortsighted. All companies, as well as governments, eventually hit financial trouble, and some day fail.

Google has shut down many services and "broke the internet" before - what they essentially did with Reader.

Even if it takes 100 years, we don't want the internet archives to be broken.



I think it's shortsighted to design your architecture for Google failing as a company. Google will be around far longer than either of us.

I'm not sure what you mean about Reader though?
