The 2011 summer acceleration in all-things-tech continues unabated. The Gang discusses the continued explosion in cloud services and how many are driving toward “cloud money” by monetizing their offerings, or offering cloud strategies with the intent of being in-the-game and making money on cloud uses (e.g., Twitter, Best Buy’s Music Cloud, respectively).

Music: “Draggin’ Down” by Angie & the Car Wrecks via the podsafe Music Alley.

Good show – At least I enjoyed it – No guests, just the gang chatting.
Would have loved to join in in the BBY discussion – Back in ’99′ (when Graeme & I were taking them online) they built a series of new test stores, a new concept, with a plan to change the entire chain over. The original website design took that new look/feel/concept into account. Also got a background briefing on how the “big-box” concept came into being.
