> I swear I've seen this story on HN a week ago where a very nice google employee decided to step in and help the guy out. In fact the first paragraph was exactly the same as I remembered the bit about Adwords being cut off as well as other services.
Edit; knew I saw this on HN - I thought this had been resolved.
As brk said I also think there is more to this. I doubt any service with a reputation to uphold would just randomly give a block without any detail at all.
I love Google, I'm a sucker for the whole cloud concept and I think Google is the place to go for this - they're open, they're free and they're not going to go away anytime soon. I don't keep my extra confidential documents on Docs and am sensible enough to make backups - therefore I've got nothing to worry about in that respect.
Just make sure you have everything covered. All those sites, all your data.
It's very easy to say making backups is obvious, but how easy is it to make backups of adwords keyword lists every time you change them... Maybe your google account is a simple one with not many services in use.
