The third annual GigaOM Structure gathering in San Francisco followed hard on the heels of IDC's Cloud Leadership Forum and was spiced up by the Salesforce Chatter release the previous day. With sales figures and customer counts in hand, cloud vendors and academicians alternately wooed and blustered CIOs and each other at the first day of the cloud confab. Here are some of the more interesting topics and technologies I came across during the first day of GigaOM 2010.
