I’ve heard more and more talk about cloud computing recently, but there’s still a lot of fuzziness about what exactly the cloud is, and what business opportunities it provides.

Rangaswami of The Sand Hill Group about defining the cloud, how startups can make money from it and why an economic downturn could actually be a good thing for cloud computing.
