	"Tuning In to the Big Picture on Video: How Falling Prices Have Created Video Ubiquity" GigaOm, February, 2010 "With Super Bowl XLIV just hours away, it’s a little late to run out and take advantage of the insane sales on big-screen TVs. But that doesn’t matter as much as it would have a few years ago, as prices have been heading steadily lower not just for displays, but all elements in the video value chain..."
	"Hedging Your Options for the Cloud" GigaOm, December, 2009 "With the second decade of the millennium now just weeks away, I thought I’d offer up some possibilities for the cloud computing market as it continues to evolve. Cloud services — whether infrastructure, platform or software — share similarities with other on-demand, pay-per-use offerings such as airlines or car rentals. But what’s past in those industries may be prologue for the cloud. Here are some key aspects of those services that could become integral to the cloud in the coming decade."
	"The Cloud: It's Not Just About the Internet" VON (Voice of Networks), December, 2009 "While there’s no doubt that Internet access to cloud services such as apps, docs, mail, and CRM is a vital use-case, there are more types of endpoints than browsers, and there is more to networking than the Internet."
	"Mathematical Proof of the Inevitability of Cloud Computing" Cloudonomics.com, November, 2009 "In the emerging business model and technology known as cloud computing, there has been discussion regarding whether a private solution, a cloud-based utility service, or a mix of the two is optimal. My analysis examines the conditions under which dedicated capacity, on-demand capacity, or a hybrid of the two are lowest cost. The analysis applies not just to cloud computing, but also to similar decisions, e.g.: buy a house or rent it; rent a house or stay in a hotel; buy a car or rent it; rent a car or take a taxi; and so forth."
	"Compelling Cases for Clouds" GigaOm, November, 2009 "What are cloud services uniquely good for and why? After all, CIOs aren’t going to leverage online services offered on demand just because they’re available, but for compelling business reasons. There are helpful compilations of use cases (PDF) from a technical viewpoint; here I’ve identified key cloud rationales from a strategic perspective..." Deeper analysis
	"Four and a Half Ways to Deal with Data During Cloudbursts" GigaOm, July, 2009 "Cloudbursting is an approach to handling spikes in demand that overwhelm enterprise computing resources by acquiring additional resources from a cloud services provider. It’s a little like having unexpected houseguests and not enough beds for them to sleep in; some of them will have to be put up in a hotel. While such “peaking through the clouds” promises to maximize agility while minimizing cost, there’s the nagging question of what exactly to do about the data such distributed applications require or generate..."
	"Peaking Through The Clouds" New York Times, GigaOm, June, 2009 "Cloud infrastructure services are particularly good at supporting variable demand and peaks with unpredictable timing or amplitude. Peaks are a challenge for CIOs, because forecasting too low may lead to poor performance or service unavailability, and guessing too high means paying for unneeded capacity. Peaking through clouds, instead of handling peaks with your own resources, can minimize cost while enhancing flexibility..."
	"How Clouds Can Complement Consolidation" GigaOm, June, 2009 "As businesses struggle to remain viable, much less grow, cost management is an imperative. Massive data center consolidation, automation and virtualization can drastically reduce costs — reportedly up to a billion dollars annually, in at least one case. However, money isn’t everything: CIOs need to balance what I’ll call the Six FACETS of IT: Flexibility, Availability, Cost, Experience, Timeliness and Security..."
	"McKinsey Cloud Report's Popularity Disproves Its Own Analysis" Information Week, May, 2009 "The sudden spike of interest in McKinsey's cloud computing report, ironically, demonstrates why the consulting company got its cost analysis wrong. Since the report focused on Amazon EC2, I thought I'd use Amazon's own Alexa web monitoring service to provide data that proves why that's so..."
	"Why McKinsey's Cloud Report Missed the Mark" GigaOm, April, 2009 "Sixty years ago, the first Kinsey Report was released, challenging conventional beliefs and causing consternation in the community. Last week, a McKinsey report did more or less the same thing, showing that for most enterprise customers, moving applications to cloud infrastructure would more than double their total costs..."
	"Another Half-Dozen Half-Truths About the Cloud" GigaOm, April, 2009 "Last week, I reviewed six half-truths of the cloud. Here are six more commonly held views that, while not completely wrong, may not be entirely accurate..."
	"Six Half-Truths About the Cloud" GigaOm, April, 2009 "Is there any subject in IT today with more promise — or more confusion — than cloud computing? Current enthusiasm could have you believing that clouds will be taking over all IT, saving you boatloads of money, and saving the planet..."
	"Ten Reasons Why Telcos Will Dominate Enterprise Cloud Computing" On Demand Enterprise, November, 2008 Cloud conference regular and AT&T cloud evangelist Joe Weinman lays out 10 reasons why large, "global integrated service providers" (read: telcos) are better equipped than their Web-centric counterparts to power enterprise cloud computing and cloud services initiatives...
	"The Ten Laws of Cloudonomics" BusinessWeek, GigaOm, September, 2008 Here's what makes public utility cloud services different—and how they can give you a sustainable strategic advantage...
	"Is the cloud right for you? Ask yourself these five questions" GigaOm, August, 2008 "Is cloud computing right for you? For the fledgling startup, the appeal of the cloud is obvious. Given how easily an entrepreneur’s vision can be stymied by a lack of technical and operations expertise, leveraging an Amazon EC2 or Google App Engine could provide the only viable option..."
	"Is Metcalfe's Law Way Too Optimistic?" Business Communications Review, August, 2007 "Is the value of a network really proportional to the square of its size? Or does each new node add limited value?..."
	"A New Approach to Search" Business Communications Review, October, 2007 "Search algorithms today are largely based on a common paradigm: link analysis. But they've ignored a mother lode of data: The network..."
	"The Evolution of Networked Computing Utilities" Business Communications Review, November, 2007 "What's driving the emerging world of distributed utility computing, and where is it headed?..."
