The Internet has a Cloud? What?

I have to admit, the only reason I read this article is because the title intrigued me. I had no idea what the "Online cloud" would have been. As I read further, the article did a good job of explaining what the cloud was in the third paragraph, although readers could probably have figured it out within the first two. John Sutter did a good job of explaining his process of investigation, as well as defining any other terms readers may not know. The information was organized in a clear, concise manner, and the gist of the article was gained fairly quickly, and it was entertaining to read. The persistence Sutter had in order to gather as much information as possible for the story was commendable, especially since most of the companies he talked to did not offer much information. At the end, he once again made sure that readers would understand what the online cloud was. He also tried to make sure that they know that it is fallible, and that they should take precautions so as not to lose all their data they have stored online. Overall, it was a well-written article.
