I'm happy that they try to push the open web forward instead data silos like YouTube, Facebook or Twitter. And for that you don't only need a great browser but also the content in different places to counter attack the monopolies. Only this way you can find the bugs and fix them.

They could mirror it to youtube and keep their own thing as a backup. If anything I trust content on youtube to survive the times better than Mozilla's own service. There have been too many videos going offline because the were on tiny services.

I don't there have been to many videos going offline which I embeded on my own website because YouTube took them down for various reasons.

And my MySpace content is gone, the content from 2004 in my blog is still served without problems. Example: http://jeenaparadies.net/weblog/2004/apr/ersteintrag
