Media Frenzy about cloud computing

This week there has been media frenzy about the coverage of cloud computing/utility computing. First there was an article in Financial Times, and then someone pointed out to me the article in USA Today discussing Nicholas Carr's book Big Switch. An interesting quote from the article...
" With technological advances, he (Carr) says, come setbacks, not to mention mismatches between the power of new tools and the knowledge of how best to use them."

I think folks who can figure how to use the new tools will do really well. History of technology is full with companies that were built just because some people figured out how to effectively leverage the new tools. This is a very exciting time for us as potential is huge and we are solving the right problems!
