I totally agree with you on the confusing part, even after reading up about it for this post, I'm still not 100% sure how it works. But I guess Wikipedia sums it up nicely: "It is a style of computing in which typically real-time scalable resources are provided “as a service” over the Internet to users who need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure ("in the cloud") that supports them." So I guess understanding how the technology works is not important in cloud computing, as long as we know how to utilize the service and understand the risks that may be involved in having our information in the cloud. Thanks Tyler!

I have been using clouds for little while now, but I have only heard the term in the past couple months. I use facebook, goodreads, dropbox, bloglines, skype, delicious, etc... I love that I can access all this information from any computer. It does exactly what technology is supposed to do, makes my life easier. good post Tyler I love cloud computing; although, it does confuse me sometimes.

I ties in perfectly with Tyler's post about Dropbox. How many of you have used the Cloud before? Nice choice of topics. I ties in perfectly with Tyler’s post about Dropbox.

How many of you have used the Cloud before?
