Hi Greg, Thanks for the comments.
I agree that the highly technical community won't see my use of the name cloud as technically correct. I stayed with the simple name "file" to describe the entity but it just didn't seem to match a visually organized grouping of content. Of course, I could customize the Data Access layer of the app to hook into either Google's Cloud or the Amazon Cloud, so maybe it is not too far off. Of course, the highly technical community is not the target audience. The general public seems to have "heard something" about cloud computing, but that's about it. Been over dozen's of names, poiview, envmap (before the release of envcar), rapidvisual, etc. Maplet is a nice term. Too bad it is taken. But, fair enough, I'll take you all out to Dinner somewhere if the thing takes off. Too bad I sucked at the one marketing class I had.
