My issues with the Cloud read like a litany from GARP: Accountability, Compliance, Transparency, Disposition, etc.

The Cloud is one more tool that records managers should keep in their toolbelt.  It may make sense, for example, at a lightly-regulated, very seasonal retail business that can take advantage of the Cloud's elasticity.  But, I suspect, for most records managers, it is analogous to that pair of needle-nose pliars with the 90-degree curve:  It's a great tool for special situations, but usually it sits in a small pocket near the back of my belt.

>I have attended two different presentations on Tape versus the Cloud and it comes out that the comparison of Cloud versus Tape; is ridiculously in favor of tape.  If reliability and security mean anything to you, tape is the answer.

I pulled the plug on LinkedIn and watching the difficulty they have pulling you out of all the things they linked me into made me realize how stupid "Linking" is in the first place.  Nothing of value was gained, much time was wasted and the end result is always more risk.  Seems like Cloud and LinkedIn were made for each other.
