AWS News Blog

Quick Picks

Voiced by Polly

Time to clean out the inbox with some interesting quick picks:

  • Good article from Microsoft: Web Services and the Microsoft Platform.
  • The BitPorters blog talks about the Amazon Mechanical Turk: Micro-Compensation – Affordably Driving User Incentive.
  • Long-time AWS developer Francis Shanahan is writing a new book, tentatively titled Beginning Amazon.com Mashups. There’s more info and an accurate table of contents in his blog. Preorder yours today and avoid the rush!
  • The Rough Type blog talks about S3 as Amazon’s Data Socket.

That’s all I have for today. Enjoy!
