The Day in the Cloud Challenge
Monday, June 22nd, 2009In just a couple of days, Virgin America Airlines and Google are teaming up for the “Day in the Cloud Challenge.” While literally up in the clouds, Virgin is hoping to highlight their in-flight wi-fi access by allowing flyers to compete in this Cloud Computing scavenger hunt (though we Earth-dwelling mammals will get to participate too).
From their site:
On June 24th, we hope you’ll join us from the ground or onboard any Virgin America flight for the Day in the Cloud challenge, a scavenger hunt unlike any you’ve ever clicked through. All you’ll need is a net connection, a Google Account, and the warm, comforting glow of your computer screen.
It will be interesting to see what comes of this, but nice to see non-tech companies embracing our beloved Cloud. We’ll all get our heads (and directory structures) up there soon enough.
