Comment on The story of my startup (and the Google/YouTube API trap)parent

If you're going to depend on one of these services for something serious, you should always have a plan B. Architect things so you actually can use your B plan, at least in theory, which means avoiding integrating to specific features.

YouTube - can you swap to Vimeo or a white label provider? Revver? GMail - have your real email (on your own domain) redirect there. App Engine - outlook not so good!
