Contact backup

Most people store their contacts with Apple or Google. I personally use Google because I’ve been doing so for 12 years and I see no updside to switching.

Problem

If my contacts were deleted from Google, they’d be gone for good. I have no backup. Someone could take ower my account and delete them. Or it could happen accidentally.

Low tech solution

Every 6 months, export all contacts and use Cyberduck to put them in a S3 bucket. Why I’m at it, backup my photos.

Competition

Marissia Mayer created Sunshine Contacts. If you have an iPhone, they presumably will make exporting your conacts frictionless.

Hmm…Sunshine Contacts seems like a great solution for most people. ALso, tech savvy people can backup contacts in a sinlge step…

I’m not smelling any money here.
