Cloud computing is here to stay. I use it for almost everything and now can travel anywhere in the world and use any portable device to access all my information. All I need is a web connection.

To go along with the "we are cloud" comment, I though I would add this video explanation from Salesforce for another visual reference, I think it's pretty simple and complements your explanation above: Cloud Computing

We found a great visual about cloud computing that I thought I'd share with you. Simple and informative, and easier on the eye than a long blog post: http://bit.ly/cZLjN3

My IE8 browser does not permit me to access Leo on the WBAI website. Whenever I try a web address ending with .MP3 - all I get is a page with a red X. (I have no trouble playing normal MP3 audio files.)

I love it when things are explained as simply as this. I 'kinda' had an idea from the Wikipedia article. It may be interesting to mention Software as a Service (SaaS) in this context, as well as the 'infamous' crowdsourcing.
Great stuff, Leo.
Thanks a mil

Comment from Paul: Cloud Computing Researcher on 2009-10-07

Cloud computing has elements from the past (thin clients)and present (collaborative working), don�t get to hung up on that, it has gained currency as the current opinion is that the internet has (eventually)become the 5th utility. It is a paradigm which could be beneficial to many business requirements due to scalability, low upfront costs, centrally managed etc, hence the excitement. However, before running headlong into cloud computing, consideration of security and data ownership is essential, and evaluate the risk to your business of DOS (Denial of service). Don�t be surprised to be hearing about "private clouds" as this is realistically the immediate future of cloud computing.

From what I understand the other important part which was not stresses was the fact that the documents in the cloud can be accessed and worked on from anywhere. Meaning many people can work on one document practically simultaneously. i.e. they don't need to update it then email to other to update email etc.....as would otherwise be the case.

Thank you for a very good short, concise, to the point explanation.

IMO, 'Cloud computing' seems simply to be one more in a very long line of 'money making gimmicks'.

Cloud computing is the old "thin client" aka "dumb terminal" paradigm in disguise. Ever since the elite computer class, formerly barricaded behind raised floors and glass walls with their mainframe machines and monochrome-green command-line interfaces, was deposed by the masses with their lowly personal computers late in the last century, the denizens of organized computing have been seeking a way back into control. Of course banks, insurance companies, and the Government mostly ignored the personal computer revolution, but that doesn�t mean they don�t want everyone to move to the cloud.

I have Panda anti-virus software, which I believe is cloud software. How does it compare?

The explanation has been put up expertly in a simple manner. Though it might have been more technical as such.
Good account.
