Re: [projectvrm] where do I host my personal cloud becoming a hotter topic

[Mary Hodder < >]

I think there is a great case to be made that Personal Clouds or Data Stores 
or whatever it is people choose to fit their needs
will serve a lot of purposes..

One will be about keeping some of their data private, and yet reusable ..

Joyce Searls made a great point on a call this morning:  we have so much.. we 
can't track it and we sometimes need it for school registrations or tax prep 
or expense tracking..
It's a mess and the case will be made for these purposes.

But.. there is also the case around Consent Receipts.. as the become 
required.. where do people store them?

Email.. seems like a black hole and yet email is based upon a commonly used 
open standard.

The key here is to get Consent Receipts into the same shape, and stored in 
your Personal Cloud.
