Seth Godin On The "Clowd" (Cloud Computing)

Seth Godin

Seth Godin has a post on his blog talking about the "Clowd"--a term he coined which combines "crowd" with "cloud" (as in cloud computing).  In the post he briefly discusses some scenarios on how cloud computing and /or (depending on who you as) ubiquitous computing would work in real urban environments.  His examples are a refreshing improvement over the stale examples (e.g. the "coupon") often used.

He points out the obvious privacy concerns but I think also shows the utility of the ubiquitous cloud.  I especially liked his comment: "..it can do Zagats to the ten thousandth power by..".

With no further ado, I refer you to Seth's thoughts in Seth's own words: link
