			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Continuing my current run of podcasts, I spoke with <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreyjhardy">Jeff Hardy</a> of <a href="http://www.smartertools.com/">SmarterTools</a> on Friday.</p>
<p>Jeff is VP of Business Operations for the company, and <a href="http://www.smartertools.com/downloads/documents/Seeing_Through_the_Fog_Cloud_Computing.pdf">gave a presentation</a> (PDF) at <a href="http://www.pubcon.com/">PubCon</a> towards the end of last year in which he dissected some of the marketing noise around major providers of Cloud-based hosting.</p>
<p>As we discuss during our conversation, SmarterTools ended up deciding to host their customers themselves, rather than relying upon a third party hosting provider. <a href="http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2009/01/smartertools-vp-of-business-operations-jeff-hardy-talks-about-smartertools-and-due-diligence-in-the-cloud.php">Have a listen to hear Jeff&#8217;s rationale</a>, and let us know whether you agree&#8230;</p>
