$100,000 Deadline This Friday: Amazon Challenge

by Tim Berry on October 7, 2008

Amazon.com has a $100,000 prize available for the best startup using its Amazon Web Services (storage, hosting, etc., for what seems to me to be amazingly attractive pricing and equally attractive peace of mind–after all, it’s Amazon).

The bad news is that this thing closes Friday.

A summary of your idea.
The stage you’ve reached.
How you’re using Amazon Web Services.
What is the problem you solved?

Who is your competition?

From now until Friday is plenty of time. Right?
