What is sumopaint?  It is a thriving online art community of over a 10 million unique users and over 200,000 registered member from different countries.  The primary purpose of the community is to create, share, remix, comment, rate and fave the artwork of its members.  http://www.sumopaint.com/ hosts the internet's most versatile painting/ photo manipulation application called the Sumo Paint.  

Sumo paint is a full phot editing/painting application, which works right in your favorite web browser.  The application can be used in Windows, Macintosh or Linux operating systems. I think it would be very useful to businessess.

I enjoyed using sumo paint.  I would recommend it to other users.

Color Hunter can be utilized in a word document or a presentation.  It is very neat how it takes an image and color palette the colors of that image.  It will be very useful in a business setting.  This is my first time using Color Hunter and I was very impressed.  I will be using it again.

Cloud Computing

What is cloud computing?  Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet.  These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Software.  The name cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that's used to represent the Internet in flowcharts and diagrams.


Google docs was much simpler than windows live and zoho.  All three I had to create an account.  With google docs I only had to type my information and take a screen shot.  Windowslive I had to add files and upload photos.  ZoHo, I had to create an account through my yahoo account.  Zoho, I had to type on a notebook and upload images.

http://google.com
http://zoho.com


All three are very useful in today's technology.  They have emerged in the technological convergence of different systems evolving toward similar goals.
