The company I work for, Parity, has recently revitalised the company blogs. As part of this, I've recently written a series of posts looking at the advent of online IDEs. Check out the blog series at blogs.parity.net/archives/category/cloud-computing.
Update - 28/08/2011
I have written a whitepaper that summarizes the conclusions from the blog series. It is now available from the Parity website (registration required):
