Posted November 21st, 2008I participated on a similar panel at PubCon last week on behalf of my employer, SmarterTools. I have received many phone calls and emails accordingly and felt compelled to give further detail on some of my criticisms in a recent Blog post:

Some people are a bit sensitive if one does not believe that a particular solution or technology with which they are enamoured is imperfect. Cloud Computing is a major development and will have profound implications for hosting and application development. But it is important that we clearly define what it is and–perhpas more importantly–what it is not.
Be well,
