Friday Roundup: Pulse on the Cloud
Each week that passes we see more news and movement in the Cloud Computing world. Whether it’s financial projections or new software the Cloud Wars are heating up. The biggest shakeup this week was the demise of Google Wave. If any of you used Google Wave you’ll surely remember the 3 seconds of ecstasy followed by the months of “what do I do now?”.
