I can't wait to see you clear things up in the new column. Very well put – the concept of the Cloud and Cloud Computing as a concept is very muddied.

Maybe it's just me and my optimism, but I think that as soon as public gets a better understanding of concepts like cloud computing, society as a whole will advance faster that ever before!

Speaking of cloud computing. Salesforce went down for a while yesterday. As someone who is moving more and more towards the cloud this was a little disconcerting. Nothing like a hiccup at Google or Salesforce to remind us how much we depend on the Cloud and the possibility of risk. Congrats on the column gig! Mary Hi!

I personally have always equated the term with freedom from vendor lock, breaking free from the slavery of the desktop OS, "power to the People", etc. Yesterday's announcement by Apple that the iTunes store is now accessible OTA and songs can be purchased and download directly to one's phone is a very good example of regular folk's non-geek cloud computing. I wonder if my definition is secretly being shared by those so desperate to inject confusion into the term and stave off their obsolescence for a few more fiscal quarters ( and share holder meetings ).
