Looking for GEC2, not GDrive
Nov 27th, 2007 by Aswath
This morning the chatter level is high regarding Wall Street Journal story regarding Google’s GDrive. It is not clear what the excitement all about is. After all Google is already providing me a storage space of 5GB, via GMail. Without minimizing its benefit, the difference will be only in the UI. But what will be nice is if they offer something like a micro instance of Amazon’s EC2. Suppose the instance is 100th of AWS EC2, it will cost a user only $1 a month to run their instance of EnThinnai. Imagine if Google can manage to offer it in lieu of running ads. Then we can have distributed social networking and run our own telephone service. I hope they offer something like that soon.
