People are going to use it. They don't know the holes. They
believe the hyperbole. I just hope that Google works REALLY HARD
to keep their end of the bargain and not shut down their
particular cloud in a few years when they get bored of it.
"Trust me". I'm from New Jersey. Those words are death to any
business transaction.
I think it's marvelous, mind you. I love online backup, being
able to run and deploy apps easily from anyway. I wouldn't want
it to go away.
But anything serious? Not yet. I'll see how Google Cloud is
doing in a few years. I don't expect Facebook to be here in a
few years either. Something different will bring people over to
them. It won't die; Compuserve is still alive in some form too.
But Google's reputation for killing projects that people JUST
START relying on is legendary. Had it happen to me too many
times.
Not yet Google. Not yet. Maybe in a few years.
