2009年8月，Vmware 收购了 SpringSource，详情请看这里。
2009年9月28日，阿里巴巴收购了万网。
这两则消息的背后的秘密，不言而喻，都是为了布局云计算，没有其他秘密。
SpringSource是一家从事企业应用服务基础技术服务的公司，其 Spring Framework 在全世界Java EE应用中举足轻重,其 Spring DM Server 是一款模块化Java EE应用服务器。Vmware的这笔收购，目的是为了整合SpringSource 在企业服务方面的资源，结合自己在 IAAS方面的优势，组建PAAS云计算服务平台。
万网是中国内地一家领先的互联网应用服务提供商，在主机服务、域名服务方面具有强大优势。其在互联网基础设施方面的市场和技术实力都是阿里巴巴布局云计算所急需的。 阿里巴巴在2009年9月9日刚刚宣布成立一家新的子公司——阿里巴巴云计算子公司。阿里巴巴在云计算方面的工作开始正式启航。阿里巴巴是迄今为止中国内地第一家真正进入云计算行业的公司。
QQ is the only choice to communicate with friends for most Chinese. And now, it’s a cash cow for Tencent Inc. They control everything, ask your money all the time. Some money for service is reasonable, but they even demand your money when you want more privacy. For an example, when you want to remove which blog you have visited, you must become their paid user.
How to build another simple, strong, easy to control by user himself/herself, no money-accquired function and cheap system to give another choice? As my imagine,
1st, Openness. Everyone can build new function for himself and who likes the function. Users build the system by themselves.
2nd, Users make decision. Everything is controlled by the users community. Even if whether the project should continue or stop.
3rd, No business goal. The main system may supported by users’ denotation.
4th, Distributed and reliable. Maybe it would like tor, eMule? Most computation is executed on the volunteers’ machine. The center server may serve a index.
5th, Secured and spam-free.
To build that system, the road map may like below:
1st, a few architects build the start-up system and open it to more developers.
2nd, many volunteers compose of a support community, and it broadcast by itself.
It must be the source that everything is controlled by users, made by users.
