For obvious reasons, I don't think they'll be storing any media files that they or a select group of friends didn't sell you (and that costs them almost nothing).

You mean stuff like MP3 files? That will be tricky.

How will they deal with people who post their user info on mailing lists to distribute files to people? I wonder if they'll shut people down if they start getting requests from all over.


I'm impressed with the idea, but I wonder why they don't want to do web hosting. Any idea?

Uh...because they already do? Or does this not count:

It's maybe not your website, but it's pretty close.

Web hosting seems like a logical service for Google to offer. Maybe the problem is that they don't want to control how web pages are formatted, so the can't put ads on the web pages.

I kinda doubt that's it.

I wonder what it is.
