In building a personal cloud the first question should be what constitutes a personal cloud? What is important to you? What content needs to be accessible anywhere and at all times?

One end of the spectrum is the PHR-movement, with Google Health and Microsoft’s HealthVault the front-runners.

Interesting two announcements today: MedPedia and Knol. MedPedia is reminiscent of the start of eMedicine several years ago, an invaluable resource and a commercial property. eMedicine had its academic beginnings as well.
