Amazon has been very busy the last couple of months. First there was an announcement for
dowloadable music. This was followed by
downloadable video. John Musser at programmable web has
written about the S3 (simple storage service) API from Amazon. This week it was the
Fidelity Store service making Fidelity the first service provider on top of the Amazon platform. A pattern here is that Amazon is using its existing infrastructure to lauch many new services. Amazon is truly exploting the web services concept.It already has Alexa for providing an index to the web and many APIs are being used by other service providers.
