 [I highly recommend taking a look at Tony Hey's recent presentation at OGF
on the "Social Grid". Lots of excellent examples of using Web 2.0, Amazon
EC2/S2 for eScience applications. Thanks to Savas Parastatidis for this
pointer from his excellent blog (but note his blog only works with Microsoft
Explore)r -- BSA]

Tony Hey's slides on "The Social Grid" are now available (6.5MB PDF). This
talk focused on the value of using the Web and its existing, stable
technologies to deliver value to eScience. It also encouraged the Grid
community to consider modern Web usage patterns and technologies, like
"software-as-a-service", social networking, semantics, as the means to meet
the scientist's requirements in a familiar-to-them manner.
