>From where I sit, "cloud" is a marketing buzzword. IMHO it should be banned from technical discussions, since it can mean just about anything. TCP cloud? UDP cloud? BLE cloud? Avian cloud? Vaporware cloud?
"We're developing a cloud solution...". I never know what that means, except that it involves some kind of networking. The supremely annoying thing about this kind of language is that it puts the burden on the reader/listener. It's a way of making him/her feel stupid/inadequate, insofar as it surreptitiously implies that "cloud" is obvious, when it is not. I move that the list maintainers ban any message containing the word "cloud". (Only 1/2 joking!) g
