Cloud Computing Is for Everyone -- Except Stupid People

I love reading stupid headlines from stupid articles, I won't point specifically to them

Feb. 4, 2009 11:45 AM

I love reading stupid headlines from stupid articles, I won't point specifically to them because we've all read them. In particular I've read a few lately that have pointed out that "cloud computing" isn't ready for primetime, it's too new, it's only for early adopters, trailblazers and upstarts who are willing to risk their business on this new thing called the cloud.

So you, the writers of stupid articles are not going like this next statement, the cloud or the internet as it's known by some, is for everyone or anyone with a website or modern software application. Big or small. If you're looking to build a sustainable software/application business using internet at any point in your application stack, then the cloud is for you. Whether you call it the cloud or the internet. Whether you pay for by the gulp or by the month, whether you're 2.0 or 3.0, *aas or or asp. It's time for you to get on the internets.
