Being nitpicky for a second: There is a different between something being "in the cloud" and "on a server", the difference being that if your stuff is just on a remote server, you could go to wherever it is, point to it, and say "that's where my stuff is". With cloud apps, your data / service is always available by the same means, but its physical location / method of distribution may have changed an indefinite number of times without you ever noticing. It's just like shared hosting, where your server state is continuously preserved, even though you're not actually hitting the same box. That, said the term "cloud" is beaten to death, not because it's inaccurate, but because grid / distributed computing is now the norm rather than the exception when dealing with web apps.
