Life is not certain in the Cloud - "Going to Bed with Windows and Waking up with Vista"
I recently posted a comment on the Linked in group for this Community and was greeted with lots of HTML Markup in my comments.
Now, I have no control over this, in fact I did not even know Linkedin was making any changes, and yet every comment in the Discussion has this markup and it is really really ugly.
It made me think back to a conference where a really smart guy Robert Cailliau was speaking about the future and history of the web. He was there with Sir Tim Berners-Lee at the start of it all.
He said working with Online Software or "The Cloud" is great until something happened that you did not want. He said to the audience "imagine going to bed with Windows and waking up with Vista". A great line that I have used many times since, Thanks Robert.
This is a great example of that, we really do not have any control of the Cloud so what do we do when the changes are not what we want?
