Fraser Mackersie buys more shares in Iomart
Fraser Mackersie, manager of the Unicorn Free Spirit fund, has upped his stake in cloud computing firm Iomart.
Mackersie purchased 30,000 shares in Iomart, bringing the fund’s total position up to 250,000 shares.
The fund manager pointed to Iomart’s growth potential, particularly as organisations look to reduce costs and risk by outsourcing their infrastructure needs.
‘The company is profitable and cash generative with a strong balance sheet. High levels of recurring revenue provides excellent earnings visibility and exposure to the growth in demand for cloud computing services makes this a core holding in the Unicorn Free Spirit fund,’ Mackersie said.
Iomart revealed a 112% earnings per share increase and revenue growth of 36% during the first half of 2011, while a recent trading statement confirmed that strong sales momentum has continued into the second half of last year.

If you use Google docs you use cloud computing. We use it heavily. Also backup to the cloud constantly.

At 1st hand it looks like what I used to refer to as network computing.

From the 2nd link above.
"For a concrete definition of the term, we’re going to defer to the Computer Security Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. According to the NIST, "Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." :-)

I've been speaking to a few techie guy's in the industry and I don't think anyone really knows the potential of Cloud, it's developing all the time and the bigger player's like Sage have seen most of their growth through Cloud as opposed to servicing their existing networks as more and more corporate's look to switch over. Anyway that's enough of the fundamental guff, the chart looks good so :)

The Pasty's Lament
by Evil Knievil aka Simon Caukwell
I am a pastey pasty a-sitting on the shelf
Though warmed by microwaves and handling I’ve failed to attract some pelf.
I was once a must have munchy stuffed in many a gob.
But now I’m taxed like boeuf en croute and left upon the hob.
Will no one make me crumble as I was born to do?
I’ve got a cheesey innard and I’ll make you just go ooooooh.
