I love the concept but I’d be reticent to invest so much in a platform that has the possibilities that if it hits it’s likely to go away from acquisition and if it doesn’t is likely to go away from lack of financial incentive.
We’re storing some valuable stuff here. I wouldn’t want to put the kind of time I put into research and then find one day it’s gone (like Reader, Delicious, etc.)
I have and FAQ point that addresses this here. Quoting from the site:
What happens if Recall disappears one day?
It is understandable that there is some hesitation to invest your time into adding your information to a new application and the obvious fear that it may just disappear one day. I want to reassure you that we are fully committed to Recall for the long term. But in the unlikely and unfortunate case that Recall doesn’t work out we will ensure that there is more than enough time for users to export their data so that it can be moved to another application. We would also open-source the project to allow users to host Recall themselves.
The ability to schedule backups of my data, perhaps emailed or something I can hit periodically myself (API?) would make me hop on and pay now. Until then, I can't justify even investing time to try right now.

What are the plans in those instances?
