Screw the Cloud! Tonido Wants to Put Your Apps on YOUR Computer

Way to completely miss the point of Tonido. It's not about competing with the cloud per se as much as it is providing an alternative to it in terms of sharing. What Tonido does is allow any PC to become a webserver, accessible from the internet by anyone (with restriction options).
Therefore, instead of forcing you to upload all the data you want to share to some cloud service, Tonido save you time and bandwidth by simply making the files accessible to the internet in their current locations. That way anyone who wants a particular file can get it without you having to bother to upload it or any other file. Better yet, because the data is on your hardware, you don't have to worry about the policies of whims of a 3rd party provider.
The backup portion of the article makes absolutely no sense as that's not what Tonido was ever about. Get it now?
Sometimes I honestly have to scratch my head at the stuff that gets posted at RWW.
