Uber-hacker and blogger Les Orchard saw the potential of
Amazon
S3 early on and realized that even though it's not intended to be a consumer-facing service, with a little
JavaScript and ingenuity it can be used to host entire web applications. To that end he create
S3AjaxWiki, a very slick proof-of-concept wiki that exists
solely on S3, no external sever required. For more information, take a look at
Orchard's blog, where he's chronicling the
project's progress.
