The Real Promise of Cloud Storage
4 likes1,747 views
The document discusses two promises of cloud storage: 1) Information storage in context, making data more useful and valuable. 2) The evolution of asynchronous data protocols that allow applications to communicate through shared data. Specifically, it argues that shared, writable storage enables unexpected data combinations, value from search/augmentation/personalization, and dynamic organization. It provides examples like social address books to illustrate how applications can follow conventions to interact without coordination.
The Real Promise of Cloud Storage
- 1. the real promise of cloud storage terry jones terry@fluidinfo.com @terrycojones
- 2. using the cloud for regular storage offers only linear benefits
- 4. linear accumulation of value
- 6. this is how we typically do open!
- 7. cloud storage offers something much more interesting...
- 8. the possibility of shared (writable) storage
- 9. 1 information is more valuable when stored in context
- 13. post-it notes: a distributed asynchronous information store with a wonderful user interface
- 14. what if applications could also store data in context? an example: tickery.net, wemet.at, tunkrank
- 16. do the math!
- 17. the friendly face of nuclear data
- 18. shared writable storage allows unexpected data combination (boom!) value from search augmentation personalization dynamic organization
- 19. but shared storage also allows...
- 20. 2 the evolution of asynchronous data protocols
- 21. 2 the evolution of asynchronous data protocols da da!!
- 24. asynchronous data protocol storage
- 26. inter-building communication via post-it notes
- 29. read-only
- 30. read-only read-write
- 33. tear-off strips
- 34. evolution of convention asynchronous data protocol
- 40. evolution of convention @addressing, #hashtags, RT
- 41. ok, humans can do it what about applications?
- 42. we’ve already seen an example: tickery.net, wemet.at, tunkrank not aware of one another weren’t anticipated didn’t ask for permission don’t wait for each other just share storage and a convention
- 44. anyone can play
- 45. anyone can play simply follow the convention
- 46. anyone can play
- 48. no one gets to set the rules
- 50. people and applications can do what they want
- 51. other advantages conventions can be extended (without harm) biologically fit conventions flourish arriving late is ok
- 52. final example tim o’reilly: “where is the web 2.0 address book?”

- 62. conclusion: the real promise of the cloud is shared writable storage which enables 1. information storage in context (making it more useful and valuable) and 2. the evolution of asynchronous data protocols (so applications can communicate through data)
