AWS/S3 has become the new Windows - great SPOF to go for if you want to attack. This space needs more competition.

Two years ago TechCrunch was publishing an article every time Rackspace went down listing all the hot startups down along with it. AWS is no more a SPOF than any other major hosting provider.

It is more noticeable since so many large sites use it. Kind of like a MS BSOD was a common joke because so many people used MS Windows.
If we were all having our own rental servers then.... well, many sites that we know wouldn't be around :)
