Cloud Computing...The Next Big Thing?

http://weblog.infoworld.com/whurley/

Community organizers can find instant gratification in the cloud for almost every event coordination urge.

So, besides the big thing I hear on Web 2.0 is Cloud Computing. So what is cloud, I hear good and bad things but at the end of the day I think you need to ask your self what do you want to use it for? From my understanding is it another way of combining resources to get the job done. Combining resources means taking all your computers and servers to make things run efficiently. This can be done remotely, and then it has the ability to be a disaster recovery solution. But is it really? And how can the government use this if some of the work is done classified?
