The word "cloud" is all over the place these days. It doesn't matter that there are very few services out there that are actual cloud services. Somehow, the word 'server' got replaced with the word "cloud". At the end of the day, though, you are still giving some other company complete access to your personal data. A few places have started to talk about personal clouds, or personal servers.
The first "cloud" service that many people have is music. You have a music collection on your iPod, but you want to be able to access that music from anywhere. You can use a "cloud" service, but why not just share your music collection over your home internet connection? With the upload speed of home internet services getting faster and faster, you can just run a home "cloud" server. There is software out there for sharing music, pictures and home movies. I will go further into detail for some of these software packages.
