Students should be able to identify at least two drawbacks. Drawbacks include:
1. placing data storage and control in another firm's hands,
2. security risks in having critical systems and data entrusted to a firm that does business with other firms,
3. loss of business capability if cloud infrastructures malfunction,
4. dependence on cloud computing provider and switching costs. Student answers regarding the relative weight will vary, an example is: The disadvantages of cloud computing outweigh the advantages, except if any data lost is irreplaceable or creates harm to others. For example, a database of financial information should remain the responsibility of the original firm so that they can be held accountable.

Microblogging is a form of blogging in which the posts are quite short. Posts in microblogs contain a brief sentence fragment and perhaps a link to another web resource or video. The posts appear in reverse chronological order. Topics in a microblog range widely, from simple updates about what the poster is currently doing to informative links to resources about current events, companies, services, and more. Users in a microblog can follow other users, whose posts constantly appear on followers' computer screens or mobile devices. Microblog users can also add their own conventions to make blogging more useful.
