Amazon S3, a very Successful Storage Service

Amazon launched S3 in mid March and yesterday claimed to manage over 800 millions data objects. It is indeed a successful and quick start. I agree with Marshall Kirkpatrick that, besides being a good business model, services like S3 are also a key factor for innovation. They make true the dream of a solo developer able to deploy an AJAX application to the web without worrying about how to scale it out, if it becomes popular.
