You're not expecting me to do your homework for you, are you?

My advice? Too many numbers crammed into one paragraph, enough to cause any reader's eyes to glaze over.

Start with the key finding. What's the story? Is business good or bad at the bookshop and cafeteria? Why? That should be your opening sentence.

Everything else will follow from there.

No, not really. While forum sites like AnimeSuki do exist in "the cloud", as do all other social-networking sites, there isn't any "computing" being done.

In any case, "cloud computing" is really no more than a fad label, like "Web 2.0" for example. The idea of sharing computing resources over distributed networks is as old as the Internet. It's just that it's now easier than ever before, so some smart hack came up with the name, ran with it, and finally pushed the concept into mainstream consciousness.
