According to Wikipedia, “Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like a public utility.”

The oldest familiar example – MS Exchange
Remember things like Blue Nomad’s Backup Buddy.net?
IMAP email
Google
Evernote

X drive gave way to things like Sugar Sync, Dropbox, and ZumoDrive
Flickr, Picasa

Web 2.0

Programs in the cloud
Word processing
Zoho
iNetWord
Image editing
Pixlr
Online presentation software
Prezi
Slideroll

MobileMe MS MyPhone and Mesh

Do you run the risk of getting “Sidekicked?”

New mobile design is all in the cloud, whether it’s web apps, or purposed lack of local sync.

Fear of The Cloud leads us back to things like CompanionLink.

Cloud computing is not limited to storing data.

    Hi All,

    Have you ever considered Zimbra?
    It works just like exchange, but has a great webinterface that allows for on-line filestorage.

    If you would like to try it out for a while send me an e-mail. Our website is in dutch, but ik you want to take a look: http://www.snelbij.nl .

    Regards,

    Ben

    I sure wish I understood Dutch. I know that would make more sense. Is it the same as what’s on zimbra.com?
