doubt on cloud computing

[Senthil Kumar M]

Hello,
 Upto my understanding cloud computing is something like a software as
service what google provides (online spreadsheets).
Am I right peoples?

I have a doubt. It provides spreadsheet feature so v no need to install
excel software, so if v programmed some applications and hosted it in
internet..is called cloud computing??? becoz gmail done that I think, they
programmed for spreadsheets and provide it as additional service right?
clear my doubts please..
