    Can we please have more folks who sued eachother on the show – loved the tension!

    I’m having a bit of trouble keeping interested in this show, and I do quite a lot of work with cloud computing methodologies.

    I guess I find the hosts and guests confused and lacking an understanding of the business and technology behind cloud computing. Transparent, variable scale commodity computing is not a mystery. It’s a clear approach based on the combination of evolved network administrations & app development practices, virtualization, SAN, and variable utility computing service offerings.

    Perhaps I should be running this show instead. :) Seriously though, it is a good idea to bring on some more experts that understand the field better and can talk cogently about the innovation and advancements being made now in both the technology and business aspects of the field.

    Maybe we should have you on a future show, and you can set Amanda and I (this is Mark) straight! :) Seriously: if you’re going to say something like this, we’ll take you up on it and bring you on. Interested? :)

    It would be great if you got someone like Shaun on who understands the field – but I think you’re central issue is the focus of this show – you are being drawn more and more into the details enterprise computing which to be honest is just not going to attract a big audience. Topics like data center design are kinda dry.

    Cloud computing to me is one thing – cloud hosting (ie cheap and rapid deployment of highly available and highly scalable ‘machines’ of almost any size). Everything else that is ‘cloudy’ we’ve had for ages. Id love to see you focus more on small developers – when to use cloud solutions, what to use them for, how and when to use CDN’s, issues with streaming video, cloud server backup strategies….

    I like the show a lot, it just seems that the focus is a little unclear (I guess like the cloud itself).

  • Cloud

    Cloud computing will change will change the world through costs savings, improved performance and bringing complex technology to the masses…and employing experts like Shaun. Cogent?
