Making sense out of the cloud
This was a question posed on LinkedIn. Logically, most of the responses had to do with marketing, customer retention, social media and the like.
But I honed in on the last words in the question: profitable basis.
WYSIWYG: what you see is what you get. The term is used in computing to describe a system in which content displayed during editing appears very similar to the final output, as defined in Wikipedia. I use the phrase an application that I use that actually works the way it is supposed to or to describe people that I meet that are genuine, without guile. How many of you want to scream when you try a new app or device that promises to be simple or intuitive but is anything but. (And do you notice that companies that make these promises never provide a phone number to call?)
So is the promise that Cloud Computing is a WYSIWYG truth or hype?
