Are cheap static sites really that big of a break-through? Whether a site is 50 cents a month through Amazon or $20/month for dozens through Linode (with the option of non-static), doesn't seem to matter that much to me when most people spend well over $20/week for coffee. The lowest-paid programmer in the US can make $20 in an hour. Anyways, love all the services that Amazon puts out and this is definitely a nice option, but I don't see it as exciting news on an individual basis. Anybody agree?


Agreed. I think it's less about cost, and more about scaling. Not to have to worry about scaling is interesting.


Definitely, I can see the potential, particularly in terms of building services on top of this feature. Will be interesting to see how it is leveraged.
