Connecting microcontroller to cloud

[djinni]

Hello everyone,

I have this idea of connecting my microcontroller to cloud and sending commands through the cloud. I have talked to my IT friends and they say that it should be possible to send command to microcontroller as long as it is connected to the cloud.

Does anybody have ideas how to connect micocontroller to cloud?

"Cloud technology
The mbed NXP LPC1768 uses cloud technology, a revolutionary concept in software development. This means you do not need to install software on your PC in order to program the mbed!
The only thing you need is a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, and a USB port on your PC. You can get access to your project from any PC anywhere in the world and continue working on it. When you are done a few simple mouse clicks transfer the program to your mbed hardware. Of course you can optionally download the projects and store them on your own PC."
