My definition was more an attempt to give a standardised definition that was understandable by the informed lay person. I hope I succeeded while still being entirely correct.<br /><br />By the way, love your blog.<br /><br />SteveSteve Peacockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155137500284265720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782954984366933851.post-1025384146924951372009-11-18T14:00:33.834+13:002009-11-18T14:00:33.834+13:00Hi Steve

Well done ...Hello Stuart, thanks for the feedback.<br /><br />Well done on your application and it is a legitimate and practical way that developers have used the internet for a number of years, however it doesn't come under the definition of Cloud Computing.<br /><br />It does however bring up a reasonable question. Some times a web page, even a specifically laid out web page, does not render well enough for some hand held devices like the Blackberry or iPhone and a specific application is made available to download to your phone in order to use the Cloud Computing app easier and with a better and more functional interface.<br /><br />In this instance I still see the application as a Cloud Computing app as it's main useage, designed for the desktop PC, is still very much hosted in the cloud. The hand held device user is simply given a functional application to use a subset of the Cloud Computing app, on his or her mobile phone/device.<br /><br />However, an application required on the users computer in order to access the data stored on the internet, does not cover a Cloud Computing definition.<br /><br />Does anyone else have a comment on that? <br />Have I stipulated a definition that is too harsh?<br /><br />SteveSteve Peacockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155137500284265720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782954984366933851.post-90381502822009052922009-11-18T04:40:57.294+13:002009-11-18T04:40:57.294+13:00I kind of disagree with "nothing installed on...I kind of disagree with "nothing installed on your computer".<br /><br />I have a (successful) small desktop app that stores all it's data on the public Internet, including user profiles which are shared with the website (in fact users register themselves on the website and are then granted permission to the specific app). The app automatically updates itself from the web when needed.<br /><br />I still see this as fitting in with the "cloud" philosophy.<br /><br />Just my 2c<br /><br />StuStuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018473714742550879noreply@blogger.com
