Too much of a good thing?


I now have three "cloud" accounts where a couple months ago I had zero. Cloud accounts are places you can place files and then share them with others. Places like Dropbox, Google Docs and, now, Ubuntu One.


My problem right now is that I don't have people in place to use these resources. But, if I start to get my act together, I should have all three in use by the beginning of 2010. These are the perfect tools to use to build a virtual organization. All work is placed in secure locations out on the web while they are active. Once we build the company, we move everything to our servers and zero out what is in the third party hosted accounts. This is cool stuff. Now let's see if I can make use of it.

My first order of business is to take all my bits and pieces of a business plan, and to put them into a coherent order. Once they are lined up, I need somebody to help (even if the help is just text editing--although I would like actual collaborative help as well) turn them into a presentable business plan. While that is in progress, though, we can start working on building a website and working on the structure of this idea. More to come on this...
