Re: Cloud computing Okay, I've heard all the buzz, but just what is it?
I think they are referring to a trends where people have become more interested in their ideas and online presence rather than the software or hardware which runs it.
Web property has always been "virtual"... perhaps cloud computing is a return to that concept?
Essentially... bare bones hosting accounts can now allow a user to transfer gigabytes where once they could only transfer megabytes.
Storage and Hardware costs continue to come down.
With the advent of open source software, piracy, ect... Software is basically worth nothing.
It is your presence, service and ideas which matter... Is this what you mean?
