# Cloud Computing at Web 2.0 Expo **Published by:** [Continuations](https://continuations.com/) **Published on:** 2008-09-17 **Categories:** cloud **URL:** https://continuations.com/cloud-computing-at-web-20-expo ## Content Today I get to give a talk about a topic that I am very excited about: cloud computing. As I scanned the program at Web 2.0 Expo I found that there are 10 presentations with ‘cloud’ in the title and I suspect that many more will mention it. While it has become a buzzword and may therefore suffer the fate of other buzzwords, I am convinced that the basic ideas behind it are sound and will have profound impact on everything we do (I already had a series of posts on that but will sure revisit often). In my talk today I am going to set out 4 principles that together I believe define cloud computing. I will post these here over the next few days. ## Publication Information - [Continuations](https://continuations.com/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://continuations.com/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@continuations): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/albertwenger): Follow on Twitter ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://continuations.com/cloud-computing-at-web-20-expo): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://continuations.com/cloud-computing-at-web-20-expo/collectors): See who has collected this post
