Come for the Ride…

There is only about a week left or so in the Amazon Startup Challenge. For our 3 readers who haven’t heard of it, I figured I’d give you a heads up if you may be remotely interested in it.

Basically, if you are planning on building a service that can utilize a number of Amazon services including storage, cloud computing, payments, queuing, etc. You should submit your idea to see if you can get some free money out of the deal.

We will be entering our idea into the contest but since we are only planning on using S3 and none of the other stuff, I doubt we’ll get selected. For some reason, I have a hunch that the overall goal is to allow Amazon to present a case study where they can showcase how the combination of Amazon Web Services helped some startup with a crazy setup launch online with low startup costs. Unfortunately for them, my goal isn’t to design a business around Amazon, as sexy as that sounds.

Anyway, good luck if you’re hopping on the train. Entries are due on October 28.
