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. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

A podcast with Flip Kromer of InfoChimps… and the end of an era

By: Paul Miller

Dec. 17, 2009 06:05 AM

I’ve been following InfoChimps for some time, intrigued by their aspiration to build a marketplace for data that combines the free with the paid. Thanks to the team at Jones-Dilworth (honestly, does Josh have any clients that aren’t interesting?) I managed to get some time with founder Philip (Flip) Kromer and Joseph Kelly whilst over in the States for Defrag last month.

Earlier this week Flip and I got together on Skype to reprise some of the conversation as a podcast, which is now available.

Production of this podcast was supported by Talis.

My arrangement with Talis concludes with the release of this podcast, so if you want to keep listening to my content you will need to subscribe directly to my feed, either on this site or in iTunes. Talis podcasts continue without me, and you can find their various channels aggregated here.
