According to a Wall Street Journal article  “A coalition led by IBM that’s pushing something called the “Open Cloud Manifesto.”   To be more precise this Cloud Computing Manifesto was kicked off by Reuven Cohen and team, Reuven claims this manifesto is supported by dozen of companies including IBM.   This manifesto, which is to be released early next week, is a document, which explains about a necessity for Open Standards for cloud computing, it doesn’t recommend or define standards for cloud computing.   Steven Martin at Microsoft intentionally leaked this document with a disappointment that this manifesto lacks openness.   If you are CIO or IT Manager or a IT Professional confused why so much news coverage on this manifesto by publishers and bloggers, the answer is, this manifesto is a simple five page document describing cloud computing and it’s challenges. The best way to clear this confusion is to read the document itself, download here [Scribd, Registration required to download].   Below are few links where you can keep track on this Open Cloud Manifesto.

Edward Sussman at Fastcompany writes:-

“We’re an entirely new community of people brought together because we want to share ideas about business. We like business. We think it’s important. Work gives more meaning to our lives. We believe business profoundly helps define our culture.”

and quotes Mark Zuckerberg “A pure social network tries to recreate what Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook calls the “social graph” of a community that already exists.”

This is like asking “Which Came First, The Chicken or The Egg? .

I will just say this :-

FastCompany is a well established brand and has quality readers from 1995, so you don’t have to compare yourself with Facebook or any other social networks and write something like “we are a new community”, you just changed your site design , improved reader registration and trying help members to network with each other, even if you claim you are social network for business that’s  ok you are a great brand. After reading lot of analysis about fastcompany’s recent changes and listening to lot of web strategy experts like me It’s better to do this “Listen to your readers, do what they want you to do in your new website”.

John Gapper at FT made a very important comment on American Football

American football is a much tougher and more strategic game that requires lots of players, lots of padding and quite a bit of grand strategy.
