The big thing these days is the “cloud.” The online cluster of applications and services that enable users to use and store information on hosted servers accessible 24/7. Well in theory anyway. yes, at least 23.87/6.92 but not all the time. Case in point was logging on today and checking G-Mail only to be shown an error message. Not a comfortable feeling. This isn’t Twitter or FriendFeed fun and somewhat useful services-this in fact was my e-mail lifeline with the outside.
Fortunately my anxiety was limited to only about 15 minutes. It sure makes you think though. I’m going to give some thought to putting back-up system in place. Thanks for the wake-up call Google.
