In the Clouds: Cloud Computing

I really liked how straightforward the Common Craft video was on cloud computing. I'll have to see what other videos they've created to explain other techy concepts.

As far as cloud computing goes, it makes me think of Marmot and the IT services they provide us and the neighboring library districts. It seems like we are already using cloud computing on a smaller scale, if I'm understanding this correctly. Regardless, the whole outsourcing idea seems smart to me. It appears to save our money, time, and nerves. It will be interesting to see how libraries, including our own, will embrace this idea even more into the future.
