"There are many reasons to worry about cloud computing. Data stored in the cloud can be difficult to extract for you, yet all too easy to demand by government. Applications running the cloud can mean new gatekeepers between you and code you might want to run. (And in discussing these issues, people don't even agree on what the cloud means). Yet among Prof. Zittrain's concerns on cloud computing is rarely the fundamental worry that a vendor will simply lose the data - one assumes that a major vendor can get that part right. Then this:"

Once applications live in the cloud, the key to success will be harnessing network effects so that those applications literally get better the more people use them. But that's just the beginning. Today we see that applications are being driven by sensors, not just by people typing on keyboards. They are becoming platforms for collective action, not just collective intelligence.

When web meets world, we get Web Squared.
