iCloud Reactions: Twitter Users React To Apple's Cloud Computing Announcement (TWEETS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 06/06/11 04:39 PM ET   Updated: 08/06/11 06:12 AM ET

Perhaps the largest announcement of all to come out of WWDC was Apple's new cloud computing service, known as iCloud.

But will it be anything truly special?

Steve Jobs presented the service, which will incorporate a number of feature, from photo, document, and music syncing, to features that were previously included in MobileMe. The new service finally includes many features iOS users have been pining for, and is an answer for many of Apple's competitors' cloud-based services.

iCloud comes in light of MobileMe, Apple's previously cloud-based service, which had cost users $99 per year. The new service is free.

Everyone seems to have something to say, and we've compiled some of the best reactions from Twitter below.
