Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?

By Roger Strukhoff

Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud.

Quotes
"Fingertips is the most accessible site for people to enjoy their own personal mix of news and information", says Ian Hambleton, founder of Fingertips. "So many personalised news sites are unnecessarily complicated and don't have the everyday web user in mind. We really wanted to change that and appeal to a wider audience whatever their interest. And we're really excited to deliver this to consumers for free."

Boilerplate Statements
Fingertips sits in a marketplace alongside other news sites such as NetVibes and Meehive, but delivers a much simpler and friendlier experience that is easy to navigate. Offering a traditional news format via modern technology, it provides users the ability to cut and paste the news they want to consume in a way that's both quick and simple to use, delivering an intuitive and fresh service that reflects the personal interest and choice of each user.
