This week’s poll question is about “Which Cloud Computing service do you prefer?” We have received total votes of 7. Whereby, 4 votes in favour of Windows Live Sky Drive and 3 vote in favour of Google Doc. A simplified version of this poll result is as below in a pie chart diagram.

Each percentage of votes is shown below:

A) Windows Live Sky Drive (4Votes – 57%)

B) Google Doc (3 Votes – 43%)

C) Show Document (0 Votes – 0%)

D) Opera Unite (0 Votes – 0%)

Based on the pie chart above the number of vote for Windows Live Sky Drive was the highest. Perhaps, this is because Windows live Sky Drive is popular among users due to its features compared to the other 3 options given. With Windows Live Sky Drive you are able to store and share photos, videos and documents online. You are also able to choose with who you would like to share and also access the photos and documents from any web browser as long as you have an Internet connection. Furthermore, the Windows Live Sky Drive has free office web application whereby you are able to create and work with others on the Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents online.

On the other hand, the Google doc web application allows you to share, create, and access your work on Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Drawings and Forms from any web browser which is similar to the Windows Live Sky Drive office web application. However, unlike Windows Live Sky Drive, Google doc is not able to support features like sharing photos and videos. This maybe the reason to why it is not so popular compared to the Windows Live Sky Drive.

The Show Document web application that allows web meeting and document sharing. This web application allows you to upload, share and view documents, web pages and images stored in your computer. It has a shared whiteboard that allows you to share ideas and information with others using a real time interactive whiteboard. You can also can simultaneously write and edit text or word files with others. However, this is a new web application many users don’t know about as it is new. This application will be useful tool for office workers and students to discuss their work.

The Opera Unite is a new web application that allows you to share content with friends without having to upload anything to the website. This web application is able to support features such as music streaming, photo galleries, share files and also host your own website directly from your browser from anywhere and anytime. Since it is new, users may not be aware of this Opera Unite we application.

Lastly, on behalf of the iCloud9 team I would like to thank all those who participated on the poll. We hope that you will continue to participate in our upcoming polls. Hence, what other web application do you prefer besides the 4 option that was given?
