Wednesday “Cloud” Open Comments

Nope, not about our recent downpour.
As I survey my desk, piled high with papers, and my bag with my “carry with me” stack of work, I’ve begun considering using a cloud-based method of handling my bills to reduce my workload. I’ve always been nervous about putting all of my financial eggs in one digital basket, but I already put my financial data out there – my credit card and banking sites, for example. Having one place where I can track and pay my bills is looking more and more appealing.
I was looking at Manilla, but I was reading reviews of it before committing myself, and found a referral to PageOnce. Supposedly PageOnce is better, but it charges for its service whereas Manilla is free. Mint is popular, but it doesn’t have a bill pay function yet.
I already use Google Docs for some of our business stuff that I have to share with my assistant. That way we can both update the status of our current jobs without having to constantly share files between our computers.
I’m nervous about the whole cloud thing. It’s pretty unavoidable, but one good MP pulse or a good, well-planned cyber attack could turn that cloud into a storm of tears as people and businesses come to a screeching halt, and no amount of .45 ammo will protect my credit cards. Maybe I’m being too paranoid, but at least with the low-tech paper filing system I still have my data. And Hubby would have no idea what “the cloud” is anyway, and trying to explain it to him would leave me with yet another bruise on my forehead as I pound away on that brick wall of frustration.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Do you store things in the cloud?
