Jack of all Clouds :: Guy Rosen on Cloud Computing » General http://www.jackofallclouds.com Cloud Computing analysis and commentary from Guy Rosen Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:24:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Save the State of the Cloud! http://www.jackofallclouds.com/2010/06/save-the-state-of-the-cloud/ http://www.jackofallclouds.com/2010/06/save-the-state-of-the-cloud/#comments Wed, 02 Jun 2010 21:58:25 +0000 Guy Rosen http://www.jackofallclouds.com/?p=651 We interrupt our regular programming for the following update.

Unfortunately, this month we have no regular post in the State of the Cloud series. Quantcast’s Top 1M Site list, which is the input data set used by the research, is broken. Instead of 1 million sites, the list contains only 78,000. Clearly, this makes it difficult to continue tracking using the same, consistent methodology we’ve had in place for almost a year.

Quantcast are aware of the problem, but “do not have an ETA on the fix”.

What you can do

Help us prioritize Quantcast’s investigation of this issue: go to http://www.quantcast.com/contact and tell Quantcast what you think. Here’s an example of what you could write:

Subject: Broken top 1M list
Message:
Dear Quantcast team,
As a regular reader of the popular JackOfAllClouds.com blog, I was dismayed to hear that due to a malfunction in Quantcast’s Top 1M Site List, the blog is unable to publish its monthly analysis of the cloud computing industry. As this research is an essential source of data on the entire cloud industry, I kindly ask you to urgently look into this issue.

CloudConnect turned out to be a great event which really brought together many people from the cloud community – this is a good opportunity to congratulate and thank the organizers for a job well done.

Here’s the video of my talk and the presentation.

There was a lot of great discussion on the findings as well as ideas for new angles and fresh approaches to looking at the data. Thanks to IGT’s Avner Algom for hosting the session!

I’ve SlideShare’d the presentation below for my readers’ enjoyment. If anyone is interested in discussing feel free to reach out.

IGT is holding its primary cloud computing event of the year, IGT2009 – World Summit of Cloud Computing, on December 2-3. A ton of folks from the industry are attending and I’ll definitely be there. I look forward to meeting fellow cloud-ers.
