Finally, after way too freaking long, Buraka Som Sistema has released their latest album, Black Diamond. The song above, Sound of Kuduro is by far the best on the album, but there are some other nice gems on here. MIA is featured on several tracks, and the rhythm is just addicting. I cannot sit still when this is on.

I didn’t get a chance to post this before, but it’s a pretty significant story, I think. Fanzter’s Facebook app, OneThing, leverages EC2 and S3. You can hit the link below or check out TechCrunch’s take.
interesting. As someone building a startup on EC2, this is good news. However, I would still love it if Amazon could boost the power of the machines without having to go to the larger image sizes. The single CPU they offer shouldn’t be less powerful than a Mac Mini.
Interesting question. Curious what the comments will be like…
Amazon’s EC2 has captured a lot of attention from technology folks. It looks great, but it’s not quite perfect for hosting web sites because it lacks dedicated IPs/DNS and persistent storage. In other words, it’s hard to start a website like FatMixx hosted on an EC2 instance.
Through some random conversations today, mostly around dynamic DNS services like dyndns.com to mask the EC2 IP address uncertainty, I learned about Mosso, a hosting provider whose model looks a lot like Amazon’s. It’s more limited in terms of the control you have (Amazon gives you a running instance with a shell and root access), but includes more traditional features like disk storage and database servers.
Just thought I’d pass it on. Grid providers like EC2 and Mosso are the wave of the future, I think, and a far better way to manage a startup infrastructure than dedicated or expensive managed hosting.
