Cloud Computing


Cloud.CM is a cloud computing website for people of all ages and backgrounds. Using leading-edge technology they have created an online virtual desktop that can be accessed anytime and from anywhere. Users can use Cloud.CM to create, store, and share files while simultaneously collaborating with friends, family, and colleagues in a secured and safe environment. They provide additional multimedia and social networking tools that serve to round out the ultimate online experience and offer users an all-in-one solution to their everyday online needs. 

Features Include: File Sharing and Storage, Text and Video Chat, Media Player, Productivity Suite (Used to View, Edit, and Create Word Docs, PPTs, and Excel Docs), Event Planner and Organizer (Groups and Calendar), and Profile Explorer (Social Networking App) 

Cloud.CM may well change the way students collaborate online and interact with peers, TA's, and professors alike. It will do this by providing an online virtual environment that combines many of the online service amenities that already exist as distinct and independent platforms onto a safe and secure online environment. 

Students can work in groups through video conferencing while sharing and updating files in real time. Cloud.CM also gives them the ability to engage each other by using various modes of communication, such as text chat, video chat, message boards, etc, which would then serve to provide a more complete collaboration environment. 

Students will also be able to broadcast conversations between them and a person of their choosing and have other parties engage in that conversation, even members not a part of their cloud, in real time by posting a link of that broadcast to other social networking sites such as "FaceBook", "Twitter", or in the social networking application provided in Cloud.CM. 

To round out the experience, the site also provides a media application to play music and videos, and also provides an avenue for students to remain in touch with professors as the students' progress in their chosen careers. 

Cloud.CM was founded by Sean McCoy, You can read an article about the founder published in Orange County Register.
