I have quite a bit – arguably too much trust in it as is reflected by my overuse of it. It is ironic though, that in a frenzy to get into the Google Wave beta thousands of people downloaded bogus virus scanners, and other malware. In essence, the spammers “poisoned” the search on Wednesday (yesterday, the release date) for “Google Wave.” If the cloud is so trustworthy then how did that happen? How did the search poisoning slip past Google for so long?

I might add that it was little more than ten years ago when the dot com bust happened and seeing how the internet is still relatively new, we may be waiting on another disaster that has yet to come. There were several Gmail outages over the summer as well, not to mention issues with FaceBook and Myspace (which in my opinion is already dead).

How much trust do you have in the cloud? Would you use it for collaboration? What company do you like better, Google or Microsoft? Do you trust Google with your information?

These are the questions people are asking themselves and others right now, and I’d like to hear your opinions on them!
