Why use an online timer when you can use better offline timers? Prisma doesn't take up a lot of space and is brilliant.
Not having to constantly carry a USB stick in case you want to see your times or record new ones when you are somewhere else or if you changed computer/switch between several is considered a great benefit by some (me included). This is a great use of cloud computing. Sure, for the timers that won't let you log in and save times, offline is just as good or better. But for the ones who do, it's very convenient. And if your facing yourself without an internet connection .. sorry, does that happen anymore? Joke aside, I think you got my point :)

The actual timer on the 'cloud'?
 
I don't use internet timers. I see no advantage to them; so I use Prisma Puzzle Timer. I did use QQTimer, until I started the 10,000 solves in a month back in June, and needed a timer that stored thousands of solves without crashing; and then I realized how awesome offline timers were. Also QQTimer had been glitchy on my computers a few months ago. But I just tried QQTimer again and saw the BLD feature, and it isn't glitchy anymore, so I will probably use it for BLD solves from now on.

Also, sorry Michael if it sounds like I dislike your timer, I love it; I just like PPT more. :p
 
If anyone doesn't use qqtimer I will personally come to their house and pop all their cubes :p

I loosened all my cubes to have only 1 thread of the screw in them (except for my storebought 3x3, let's see you try to pop that), bring it on.

I don't know where you live, but I do know that Sweden is in the forefront of internet infrastructure development, which is one reason I like living here :p

All internet timers are in the cloud, speaking of the entire internet as the cloud. I was more referring to the fact that all my times are saved online, or in the cloud if you wish, which makes it easy to watch or add to my times wherever I am. In the rare occassion that I'm not near a comuter, I can access my times on my phone, and because my phone has a physical keyboard, I can even use the timer if I wish too. I prefer a touch screen timer in that case though.
