Gil is one of the founders of Applied Semantics, the firm acquired by Google for its AdSense technology. How does this differ from the kind of data Amazon has said it will make available through services like S3? They are making storage available to people or to institutions who have data they want to share publicly, for free, on S3.

Companies like Dropbox, Microsoft, Google, and many others are setting the standard for those cloud services. We''re not using third party services such as Amazon S3, which just adds to your cost. Our new product competes with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft SkyDrive. It''s cheaper than both Dropbox and Google Drive.

Especially when there are things like: Amazon S3 / EC2 / AWS outage this morning. Google App Engine - take more than two seconds to process we are going to kill your request. Must be willing to work the way Google expects. Compared cost there vs. second company that raised $500K and used S3 and other platforms.

Our chief architect, Ryan Lissack, wanted to store our data in Amazon’s new (at the time) storage product called S3 that enabled us to store all our data in their facility and we’d pay by the MBs uploaded / downloaded. In case you don’t know Applied Semantics it’s Google AdSense. I was dead set against it.

They started by offering cloud storage (S3) on a super cheap, pay-as-you consume basis. Not Google. They came from a different perspective. They have the mass retailer mentality of “stack ‘em high and sell ‘em cheap.&# Every startup I knew in 2005 (when I started my second company) was using this. Not Microsoft.
