Hello , cloud!

Welcome to my newest blog, “Zero-Pound Computing,” or “ZPC” for short. My intent here is to create a repository of news, information, expertise and opinion on the concept variously known as ZPC, Cloud Computing, Web Applications, Software on Demand, and Software Rental, among others. I plan to have a significant amount of information available here within 2-3 weeks, starting this weekend with useful links to what other people are saying about this important topic, and, if I can find one or two good ones, an RSS feed or two on the topic.

For now, at least, I’m not allowing comments on this blog. My experience with them on my other major public blogs has been unpleasant, so even though I am a great believer in participatory and collaborative Web content creation, I’m foregoing that at the outset here. I will revisit that question when I have time and after the site has enough useful information on it that I don’t feel like I must spend all my available time fleshing it out.

I hope you find this space useful and that if you do have comments or suggestions, you’ll email me at zpc at shafermedia dot com.
