Can you release this list as an OPML so it'll be easier to subscribe to all of them? Thanks!
People in Facebook are invited to join the Cloud Computing group:
http://www.new.facebook.com/posted.php?id=8450870046
Currently there are more than 260 members and more than 1,100 posted news items!
I would like to add Joyent's blog to the list as well. http://www.joyeur.com We are the official host of Ruby on Rails and the largest application we have running does over 1 billion page views per month.
Thanks
Sort of strange that http://blog.griddynamics.com">Grid Dynamics blog is not in the list.
I can't believe it either. Only an idiot could have been so thoughtless.
Might you also care to include http://blog.mor.ph">blog.mor.ph? In case you haven't heard of it, http://www.mor.ph">Morph Labs is a leading 'completely managed hosting solutions' provider for Rails, Java and Grails.
Thanks.

Friends - You might also want to check out http://www.on-demandenterprise.com/blogs/ for the "Essence of On-Demand" blog by Derrick Harris (former editor of GRIDtoday). He provides commentary, feature articles, and current news on real-time computing. Articles focus on topics such as scalability, flexibility, availability, dynamism, low latency, utility computing, high efficiency and other "on-demand" capabilities. Technologies like cloud computing, grid computing, virtualization and data caching have already proved themselves in terms of performance, ROI and competitive
advantage and On-Demand Enterprise will continue to cover these technologies as they evolve. Free subscriptions are also available online at www.on-demandenterpise.com.
Hi,
if you can read spanish, my blog can be a good reference to follow all the news about cloud computing in our language.

I would like to add Kunal's blog to this list. It is up and coming and talks a little bit about vendors and soucring for clouds.
http://www.cloudvirtualization.org/blog
I'd recommend adding the http://www.theappgap.com/ which covers cloud computing apps. How will "Work 2.0" be built.
Here is great blog entry I found on an interview with Run Gula about cloud computing and its security. I recommend checking it out.. http://www.carpathiahosting.com/carpathia-blog/archives/25
I have started a cloud computing site as well, and wanted to make people aware of it.
Please visit the site, and help us educate people on Real Cloud Computing.

It’s easy to see why cloud computing - in all its forms - continues to gain momentum. Users can work anywhere and, if your computer breaks or your laptop is stolen, you won’t lose any data. We have just published an article on cloud computing here: http://www.zeta.net/blog/2009/01/what-cloud-computing-means-for-you/
http://hostedftp.wordpress.com has some good information.
Almost all the links above are educational about Cloud Computing, and super useful as this industry gets out of diapers. In the mean time, SOASTA is a favored customer of most of the "leading" cloud platforms (e.g. Amazon), flexing their models by delivering web-scale testing to 100s of customers huge to small to validate high-scalability, performance, and reliability in ways simply impossible prior to cloud computing.
All the tough problems are being worked out by the usual suspect for wide-scale enterprise cloud deployment. I'd like to hear from/see more cloud customer blogs and posts discussing the areas where CC helps solve real problems TODAY!

I've been getting some good feedback on my blog for my Cloud Computing class at Berkeley:
http://infinitepolygon.blogspot.com/
Feel free to comment, tear my thoughts to pieces, etc.
there is a new blog about cloud computing: http://thenextbigcloud.blogspot.com
Hi, good list to follow! We are in the cloud testing and virtualization space and are starting to post a copious amount on Cloud Computing here:
http://blog.itko.com/cloud_computing/
Thanks.
How about www.cloudstoragestrategy.com by Steve Lesem and Gray Hall?
The Cloud is proving it's power for cloud testing every day. Intuit tested most of march with SOASTA CloudTest to assure satisfaction for a few hundred thousand users a day prior to Tax Day. They tested to 200%+ of their expected simultaneous user, IN PRODUCTION. Case study here - http://www.soasta.com/successstories/index.html#intuit
Please update my entry: Randy Bias NeoTactics -> Randy Bias, Cloudscaling as I re-branded the blog recently.
Thanks.

My bad... Please change the URL to http://cloudscaling.com and remove the 'state of the art for startups' tagline. Thx.
I'd like to add our ElasticHosts blog at http://www.elastichosts.com/blog/ - we're a UK cloud infrastructure provider.
Thanks for the list.
Add tellitec-solutions.com/blog to your list

Thanks for sharing the list, very good work.....
