An interesting story on Amazon.com web services: “AWS is an outgrowth of the long-standing Amazon.com Associates program, which pays bloggers, Webmasters, and online retailers commissions on sales generated by the “Buy Now!” buttons on their sites. Amazon.com won’t disclose exact revenue figures or discuss the return on investment for its Web services efforts. But it hopes AWS will encourage special-interest Web sites, shopping and specialty-retail sites, and application developers to share the wealth by tailoring Amazon.com shopping tools for their respective audiences.”
