Let's say you have five RSS feeds that you want to have backed up. Do they create a single stream from all the posts that you can view as html? Do they create a database?

Think about this. Why do you need a backup of a photo that you uploaded to Flickr or a video you uploaded to YouTube? It's already on your hard drive. And if you want to backup the content of all of your RSS feeds you can install a desktop based feed reader and import the content everyday. Or you could use Google Reader to the same thing and have it web based.

We'll see what they come up with at launch but so far it's nothing that's too special and certainly not worth paying for.
