Store Your Data

After a recent move, I am unable to find two notebooks that have five years of internet research in them. To say that I am distraught, does not even begin to cover it. I suppose they will show up but I'm feeling mighty low right now. If I can't find them, then I have to come up with almost a whole new strategy for what I'm going to spend the next few months doing. So in that light, here is an old list of bookmarking sites, but most of the links are still good. The original title for this article was: Store It: 100 online spaces to store all your stuff. I am not the originator of the article but while I'm looking this stuff up, I'll less you use it also. I'll try to fix the broken links and add more stuff as I get time. I don't ever want to lose my bookmarks again and I've been wanting to place them in online storage for awhile. As I look into more places to place my data online for safekeeping, I'll let you know which ones I like.

While backups on hard drives and CDs may still be the preferred method of data storage for many, a growing number of people are finding that the Internet provides a great place to store all their data, whether it’s for the long term or just to transfer information to another person. There are hundreds of services out there that provide data storage over the Web for just about any kind of information you could think of. Some are even available to use free of charge.
