22/five-ways-of-defining-cloud-computing/

As with nearly every IT trend, including service-oriented architectures and Web services, just because we’re all talking about cloud computing doesn’t mean we’re talking about the same thing.

I recently joined a LinkedIn/Google group on cloud computing, a member of which posted what should have been an innocent question: Is there a difference between cloud computing and what we know as grid computing? I was ready with my own answer, but overnight about a dozen responses had already flooded in, creating an e-mail chain that offered some interesting nuances on the terminology.

Check out this interesting article talking about the differences between grid and cloud computing, it was interesting to read what different people think about the two concepts.
