The Top Ten Blogs of 2011: #4 -- Distributed recentralization

Steve Riley was one of our most prolific bloggers of 2011.  Since September, he's been writing an article just about every other week.  He even received an award for being one of the 100 best Cloud Bloggers in the Blogosphere. 

His favorite blog article this year was one that he wrote back in April, entitled "Distributed recentralization: Networks to eleven!"  This article was about the interesting connections between cloud computing and user-centric IT. 

Basically, it's a fairly typical article from Steve: smart, clever, with many interesting allusions, and a cool writing style.  But he really drills down and makes some important and cogent points in this one, and so we've chosen it as our 4th best blog article of 2011.
