The third episode of TalkCrunch is all about Amazon’s game changing new S3 Grid Storage web service that I wrote about on TechCrunch last week when it launched. Co hosted with Keith Teare and Nik Cubrilovic, we bring on two guests from the Amazon Web Services group: Adam Selipsky (VP of Product Management and Developer Relations for Amazon Web Services) and Dave Barth (Product Manager for S3).
In the first segment Adam gives us a high level view of all of Amazon’s web services. In the second segment, David gets into detail on the new grid storage service itself, including an in depth review of features.
Keith and I also try, without success, to talk Nik into building his new online storage company Omnidrive on top of S3. It’s a lively conversation, to say the least.
Other companies mentioned include PayPal, Jigsaw, Plaxo, Yahoo, Google and Riya.
