Cloud Computing and/or Web2.0

Is there a difference between the two?  From what I can tell there is no major difference.  In the video, Peter O’Rielly interchanged the two phases many times in his comments.
The way I see Cloud Computing is a means by which people can exchange information with one another.  When I say information, I am talking all aspects of information.  From exchanging comments in a chat to exchanging, sharing and using other peoples applications to run a computer.
Dave McClure explained it as “A city in the sky”(8:03).  Cloud Computing would be this big city where all the computers go to obtain data and deposit data for everyone to use. 
I found some other videos that helped clear things up.  They are embedded below.  These videos more or less explain not only the what of cloud computing, but the function of cloud computing.  I hope you have time to check them out.

Oh, I have to let you guys know this one.   The videos were REALLY BIG.  When I pasted them into the blog, I went back to the “edit HTML” and changed the size of the videos so they would look better.  Just a little info for those who might want to know.

  1. We use salesforce.com. This is a tremendous help to all of our associates as most of them are off site working at trade-shows throughout the country.
