Welcome to Your Guided Tour of CLOUD

As our home page makes clear, CLOUD is a big idea based on a simple premise. The Internet should start with us, not webpages.

To create your own thread and help start spreading the story of CLOUD, share your story about broken connections and how an Internet built around you could reweave your personal fabric.

As Gary Thompson, Co-Founder and CEO of CLOUD, took the stage at TEDxAustin on 2.19.11 and prepares for his panel at SXSW Interactive, we not only want you to create your "own thread" but also want to provide you with a guided tour through the various videos, blog posts and white papers that we have written over the past two years since launching our efforts in March 2009.

We've put together several pages to give you a deeper dive into areas of interest to you that then provide links to appropriate content related to each topic:

Finally, if you would like to go beyond contributing and learning and become part of creating the future of the Internet, share a little bit of information with us, so we can include you in the first crowd-sourced Internet standard. If the future of the Internet is going to be different, then the way it is created should be different, too.
