That is a fair question, but the answer is rather complex:

Here's the short of how I interpret it. You interact with files and such on a distant server/location. If I upload my family vacation photo album to Imageshack that's the cloud. If I watch a movie streamed from Netflix that's the cloud. If I upload files to share with others to Mediafire, that's the cloud.
Like I said that's how I interpret it. Just interacting with files hosted off site.
