Cloud Computing

Folks,

Last week I listened to a piece on Cloud Computing that I thought I ’d share with you. It’s from the end of a podcast episode from the BBC World News Service entitled “The World Technology Podcast.

This podcast is produced and hosted by BBC World Technology correspondent Clark Boyd and distributed in the U.S. by PRI (Public Radio International). This segment was taken from the end of podcast #224, posted on Friday, December 19, 2008. The piece talks about the concept of cloud computing in rather general terms, but it does mention Google Docs, Google’s web-based office suite, and also web-based e-mail services such as hotmail. For some additional examples, you can visit http://www.google.com/options/ where you’ll find a great list of Google’s free goodies. Some of these apps are web-based, and some require you to download and install a client application on your PC, but virtually all of the data is stored and accessed from the “cloud,” meaning that’s out there on the big Internet somewhere. Precisely where is really of no consequence; it could be on a server in the next room or half-way around the world – it really doesn’t matter!

You can subscribe to an RSS feed of the BBC World Technology podcast by going to http://www.theworld.org/rss/tech.xml. You can also subscribe to it on iTunes as follows:

Open iTunes > then, select iTunes Store > then, type “PRI’s The World: Technology Podcast” into the search box in the upper right - without the quotes, of course, and hit Return.

That’ll do it for now. Have a safe and happy holiday!
