Ben,

Thanks for stopping by

In terms of E20 companies, yes some of them are missing key areas but I was very heartened by the companies I met at Enterprise 2.0 Conference earlier this year.

Also, E20 companies have a large head start over most pure play Web 2.0 companies in that they have real revenue projections based on B to B sales…not on some elusive advertising scheme.

But articles like yours are helping to open eyes….

Joel,
You are right that Libvert has a lot of potential. I am not sure though that just covering the API’s will be enough of a standards base for Cloud Computing.

Ameed – Thanks for posting about my Enterprise 2.0 thoughts. I know they’re echoed by many in the space, although I still think a lot of Enterprise 2.0 startups are missing the boat in key areas of success.

I agree with most of the posters over on the Cloud Computing Group that it is too early to approach W3C for Cloud standards.

Libvert would be less cumbersome and could serve the same purpose as W3C. If the API’s are consistent then no matter what the datacenter tools in use, all would interconnect in the same manner
