KDE Gears Up to a Free Cloud (KDE.News)
If and when a serious number of providers join this effort or support the interface, nobody will have to join a myriad of different social networks just because he or she has friends on all these incompatible, separate clouds - they will all be able to connect. If users are unhappy with a provider, they will be able to move on to another provider without losing all of the information and connections they have created with that provider, opening up the market and creating opportunities for new companies and innovative services. As an added benefit, users concerned about their online security and privacy can stay in full control of their own data by running their own cloud server." More information can be found in this slide deck [PDF].

Gah! Sending an email from Gmail to all Facebook contacts is currently impossible, it says. Let me be the first to say: thank goodness. But in general, the whole thing suffers from the what do they mean by cloud this time problem. After reading it, this seems to be "the regular Internet, but now we call it 'cloud'". And you can rate wallpaper.

the possibilities are endless. They can just sell someone a cloud and then
find out what they really want, then create and deliver. Business as usual.

Think of a peer-to-peer desktop that allows me to share files, chat, talk or work collaboratively over the Internet _without_ a server.
