Thanks to the per­va­siveness and per­for­mances of the Internet, it’s now pos­sible to have very complex pro­grams run from your web browser, pro­grams that were only des­tined to your desktop before.

It’s usually called “the Cloud” (or cloud com­puting), and allows the access via the Internet to complex pro­grams. You probably already knew about Google docs and your favourite word processor, or spread­sheet program, but coming from up the cloud, we are talking about dif­ferent kinds of birds. Graphic pro­grams more like Adobe’s Pho­toshop, except that here, it’s for free (at least for the basic version), and you don’t have to install any­thing on your computer.

Check out Aviary; even if you’re not inter­ested in com­puter graphics, the website concept alone is worth checking out, with each project being rep­re­sented by a colourful bird, the symbols’ con­ti­nuity being pushed to having eggs for their coming projects (which look very inter­esting as well), or a broken egg for “404 not found” errors.
