Hi all,
I'm thinking, Cloud is coming, therefore something new and big lways equals new opportunities to create value for somebody. What do you think might be some good ideas to make money with Cloud computing?
Thanks BR

    I think this is way too important to ignore. I'm considering buying a Chromebook to force me to work exclusively in the cloud.

      Chromebook looks slick... First time hearing about it though. Is it based on cloud computing? Is it windows based?

          Hi BR, I guess it depends what your favourite business model is.....

          Affiliate: Find a load of cloud services to recommend - bizarrely, web-hosting has been "in the cloud" for ever. Look around for other offerings like backup services, infrastructure offerings (for bigger business), creative offerings (Adobe, etc) and personal cloud (Apple). Finding the programs will be the hard part here.

          Information marketing: Write a load of stuff. :-) Help business understand Cloud, market on LinkedIn. Help the man in the street understand cloud, ditto with FB etc.

          Become a cloud provider: Build a launch platform for IM experts that are forever "crashing their servers" on launch day. Make it robust enough to scale to a squillion users. Host on Amazon EC2.

          Just a few ideas. Hope they help,

          Martin

            These are good ideas, thankx, ...

            On talking with friends I now understand something new too. If one's computer is cloud specific, it has no ability to perform any functions unless hooked up with an online connection. That pretty much makes it a useless space occupying device if its offline. Until we get total planetary internet wireless coverage then we will still need to own a desk top or lap top to eg write a document for the off line times.
            Thats means, the dudes who run things must have thought if this, and be looking at other things than personnel use that are more likely to be big earners/users.
            The question becomes; who/what kind of business would use amounts of memory so vast that they are unaffordable to average users? hmm

            Thanks Martin, that does spark some ideas and give me new ways to see this whole puzzling thing, cheers, Roger

              So there's another idea....

              Write a guide for cloud-device users that helps them get over the "no connection = my device is a brick" problem.

              Are there local cache solutions etc etc that make the little darlings usable even with no connection etc etc.

              As a guide to what you can get away with (!), we have a major chain here in the UK that is usually the biggest seller of magazines etc. (WH Smiths) and they are selling a "Guide to Cloud Computing" which is on the mag rack. It's a small booklet with maybe 40 pages (from memory) and is selling for something daft like £10 ($15).

              It's crap and it sells all day, every day to business types that can't get their heads round this new fangled wotsit called cloud.
