Amazon Unleashes Web Tools at MIT as Web 2.0 Hits Hyperdrive

I caught up with Jai Singh, one of the world's most influential technology editors, on the campus of MIT where we are attending the Emerging Technologies Conference organized by Technology Review magazine. Jai is editor in chief of CNET News.com where he has been since the site's founding. Jai was impressed with Amazon's Jeff Bezo's presentation yesterday on how Amazon is opening up its technology to other developers and companies. He thinks it is part of an exorable shift in how business can swiftly grow with very little barrier to entry. Check out this story - "Servers for Hire" - about Amazon's new plans by Technology Review's Wade Roush. I taped Bezos for Technology Review's vlog yesterday. Great interview! -- Andy Plesser View this post on Beet.TV, http://www.beet.tv/2006/09/amazon_unleashe.html - Contact us at beettv@plesser.com
