I'm just back from today's Web 2.0 Expo sessions and I'm not sure I will attend tomorrow. Many have written about this before, but the creative, social atmosphere is missing due to the conference labyrinth halls. Boy, I'm happy I haven't spend > 1.000 Euros on this. No real food, a lot of product presentations, not enough room for socializing and to many suits for my taste.

Still, I had some nice conversations and met some interesting people.

I did again a session on scaling with Amazon EC2 and S3, the slides can be found here.

This time a also talked a bit about how we use S3 and EC2 to drive our Webmail Portal product, PeritorMail at Peritor.

Also nice the AWS announcement of S3 being available in EU data centers. Now I'm only waiting for EC2 in the EU...
