Take a walk on Cloud Avenue

This entry is part 4 of 4 in the series Cloud computing

There is a new project, kicked off by Zoli Erdos called Cloud Avenue. No, it’s not the one in Los Angeles, although I certainly would like to take a walk there, but his one is more in the “electric clouds”, leading straight to the HQ of Cloud Computing. Or something like that.

There will be several people working on it, Zoli for sure, Krishnan Subramanian, Ben Kepes and Dan Morrill, and a couple more I think, so it will be interesting.

And for some reason Zoli thought that he will give me a chance to write there, which will be an interesting thing to see, but hopefully they will have a high level of quality control, and won’t let the more embarrassing pieces get published. Or at least they will correct the spelling and the grammar.

So, there is a new place to go and read, and go for it, for I think there will be good articles from the people. So don’t forget, go and take a walk down on Cloud Avenue for some window shopping. Who knows, maybe you will find something you like.

Desktop or Web

The latest trend in Web Applications is – surprise, surprise! – going back on to the desktop. e Adobe Air and Mozilla Prism are two technologies that help Web Apps behave more .. hm, surprise, surprise! … desktop-like. Full circle? Why the “move to the cloud” circus if we’re coming back to the desktop anyway?…
