• Pulling together The Cloud

  by Benjamin Coe

  With wide consumer adoption of services like Google Apps, Facebook, Dropbox, and countless other web-based applications, it seems that the cloud is ready for prime time. Having said that, there are problems with the cloud in its current form, many of which are better solved in a traditional desktop paradigm. These problems relate to search, workflow automization and customization, and interoperability between applications. There are efforts in the works to solve these problems. Modern web-browsers are rethinking how someone traverses and organizes their web-based applications. Standards like OAuth allow for application interoperability. In turn, services like Greplin, IfTTT, and Attachments.me can begin building a better platform for the cloud. In this session we look at the short-comings of the cloud in its current form, examine current efforts to address these problems, and present a vision of what things might look like in the very near future.
