We are a SaaS provider of email archiving and constantly struggle with whether to label ourselves "cloud" (since the term is hot) or SaaS. Originally, I thought of cloud as being more infrastructure-oriented (e.g., we might use a cloud provider for our infrastructure). But salesforce has rewritten the rules with their rebranding. I spend a ton of time with clients who are confused about cloud vs. SaaS so it's definitely still very early. Nick Great post, joel.
