SlashGeo has an interesting poll going on just what people’s thoughts are on Cloud GIS.  The Poll Questions is:

That is a pretty wide array of answers that goes all the way from people burying their head in the sand and hoping Cloud GIS will go away, to the cloud will engulf everything.   I will follow the results and report them as the poll matures.
