Cloud Mechanics

In his latest No Jitter podcast, Guy Clinch gets technical as he
describes how the cloud changes the ways that technology companies
work together over the cloud to create new innovations. In the past
the barriers were high including for the, “intellectual property
owner to both to develop effective APIs and to make them available
to external parties who wish to take advantage of them,” Guy says.
He continues, “On the external developers’ side significant
resources were often required to access, interpret and utilize the
exposed resources.” The costs and other factors added up to both
limit the numbers of companies who participated in multiple party
innovation and inhibited the accomplishments. Guy shows how this
has all changed by explaining the concept of web services has
evolved from the ideas of the World Wide Web.
