I mentioned the data transfer project in my opening remarks. The data transfer project is a solid attempt to start addressing that challenge.

We've long had both the data liberation front and then data takeout tools that allow our users to export their information so they can be used in a different service. The data transfer project is in concert with Facebook and Microsoft and Twitter and hopefully others. It's to enable you in effect to transfer your information from Google services to another service almost seamlessly.
