The “cloud” buzzword

The “cloud” seems to be the buzzword of the moment. Loosely defined as software as a service running off the internet.

For some reason, this is rather grating to me. I don’t know why! Reminds me of when XML first gained traction as a buzzword before people knew what it was. They (the media and blogs) made it out to seem if XML was the be-all, end-all technology. It would not only save the world, but cook you a sandwich at lunchtime if you programmed it right.

I guess they got tired of the web 2.0 buzzword.
