Nevertheless, I believe that WoW is a good example for a cloud (application). My reply: http://markusklems.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/wow-is-a-cloud/ John,

Nice marketing shine on top of existing technology. Remember back when every company threw some ajax on their site and said "Ta da! We're a web 2.0 company now!"? Same story, new buzz word. On the positive side, the Web 2.0 concept did catch the mainstream's eye and made them aware of the possibility of collaborative web services. Similarly, the "Cloud" concept is finally wrapping peoples' minds around what is possible when you leverage web-scale infrastructure (application and physical) in an on-demand way. "Managed Services", "ASP", "Grid Computing", "Software as a Service", "Platform as a Service", "Anything as a Service"... all terms that couldn't get it done. Call it a "Cloud" and everyone goes bonkers. Go figure. -Damon Edwards http://dev2ops.org http://controltier.com Clouds are the new Web 2.0. Nice marketing shine on top of existing technology.
