Fast Company recently called Amazon this year's most interesting tech company thanks to Web Services. They just might be right. If hundreds of thousands of sites can manage payments what would be back-breaking hosting costs thanks to Amazon it makes it much, much easier for high end applications to come to life by bootstrapping founders.
