Cloud #fail

Monday, February 28th, 2011

By now you should have heard the problems people have been having with their Gmail accounts. 1000’s of E-mails have been deleted, accounts have been disabled, and while Google has been hard at work trying to make everything right.  This is one of those things that makes people like you and me weary of the cloud.  Is moving to the cloud the best idea?

The Google says that the glitch, which first popped up at the weekend, has only affected a small percentage of the Gmail userbase. Initial estimates hovered around less than 0.29 percent of all Gmail users, but that number has since been revised down to less than 0.08 percent of all Gmail users. It’s fair to say that calling the glitch “widespread” probably wouldn’t be entirely accurate.

Don’t move to the cloud unless you are ready for it!
