To get the right people to view your social media profile and to wow them while they’re there, you need to know what you're doing. Here are some non-embarrassing or desperate tactics you can use.

These days, you’re probably seeing a lot of new TV commercials for gadgets and internet services that mention “the cloud” or “cloud computing.” It may sound like the next big thing, but cloud computing has actually been around for a few years. Some popular examples of cloud services you may already be using are Gmail, YouTube or Google Docs.

So, what is cloud computing?

The Cloud Demystified
When people talk about the cloud, they’re still talking about the internet. In the past, you went online to visit websites and use email, but most of your data and applications still lived locally on your computer. But now, you can store all your files on the internet in the “cloud” and work directly on them at any time via your web-connected devices (e.g. smartphone, laptop or desktop computer). Your PC or device is simply what’s connecting you to the cloud.
