I created Timelines - a social network that allows people to own their data.
Timelines stores your data in a specific folder on your Google Drive which is sandboxed from all your other data on Google drive.

1)Giving the user an option of where they would want to store the data e.g. S3, box, dropbox etc. 2)Encrypt the data before sending it to google servers.
- The target market will probably want details: does the data go through your servers unencrypted? Is it store unencrypted? People who care where the data is stored usually have common worries, you should answer them.
- Who are you? If you're asking me to put my life on your site, the least you can do is tell me who you are. Maybe you can use it as a showcase of your product, if you can make a public Timeline as a sort of bio.
- Signing up is annoying and people won't do it if they aren't hooked by your introduction. Show them how it works - screenshots and videos are okay, a demo with fake data is better.
- If I need a Google account anyway, why do I have to come up with a password? Just let me signup with Google. You can let people add other login mechanisms later, if they wish.
- I don't want to sign up now, but I may be interested in how it evolves. Give me some way of following it: newsletter, RSS feed, Twitter account, etc.

Good luck!
