It seems like we in Boston are saturated with networking events for the tech world—which is a good thing. From RubyRiot to TechStars Demo Day to all the great nightly events, we’re doing something exciting every evening as a community, it seems.

 A few terms in the technology industry are frequently misused and misunderstood:

 - Web 2.0

 - The cloud

 - Agile

 - NoSQL

 - HTML5

I’d like to examine one of those terms, “the cloud”, from the ground, as a web developer who works mostly with Boston startups.
