Hi, my name is Terry Smith and I'm a developer and aspiring entrepreneur.

I’ve been reading A LOT of news lately about The Cloud.  Haven’t heard of it?  The Cloud is this revolutionary concept of all your data living on the internet in distributed services in services like S3, dropbox, etc.  From my understanding from recent articles and hype (which we all live and swear by, right?), it’s a fairly new concept propelled by Amazon and other companies to make it so you don’t have to store data on your own computer.  This concept has been applied to documents, e-mail, and even web sites!

So I thought: wouldn’t it be great if the whole internet lived in a distributed, cloud computing environment?  Where we no longer had to host our own websites on our own machines?  Could you imagine if we had the ability to host our websites on other people’s servers 10 years ago?  And add more servers by clicking a few buttons and then setting up a custom image, just like Amazon does today?  We would be so much farther ahead of the curve!

So welcome to Web 3.0: where you no longer host your own your documents, and eventually you may not even host your own websites.  And as more websites move to The Cloud it will be even easier for people to host them elsewhere and scale them, with just the click of a button and the installation and customization of your software image (EC2 in this case).  It’s a whole new world we live in, and I can’t wait until the entire internet lives in The Cloud.
