Cloud Computing at Web 2.0 :: How Many Platforms are Available?

We’re 100% Internet — We don’t have software :)

Mark Benioff (Salesforce.COM): “Look: You have choices — you can look at azure, you can look at force.com, you can look all of these different platforms that are available.”

What is the upper limit?

I think this is based on the vocabulary of terms humans can manage at any point in time — perhaps starting at around the size of the yellow pages (hundreds or several thousand) up to the vocabulary of an entire “natural” language (several hundred thousand). My gut feeling is that it’s somewhere in the middle… (and/but that Microsoft and Google (etc.)  feel that it might be less than a dozen or so ;)
