Amazon has done it again. The question now is how are other companies offering similar services going to compete? Physical data warehouses charge ten times as much for similar services. Not many other companies have the resources to compete with amazon in this new endeavor of theirs. Now that Redshift is global, it almost seems like a certainty that they will drive other companies specializing in data warehouses out of business. With Amazon seemingly getting stronger all the time, the gap continues to widen between Amazon and everyone else, will anyone compete?

Response marketing tools!



I find that it is too much when Facebook starts using facial recongntion when it comes to posting pictures, or even when trying to log in. In the past, I have tried to log on using a different computer, a bunch of other people's pictures pop up, and I would have to name them all, in order to log in. I understand the theory behind that, but I honestly don't know some of the people that I'm friends with on facebook, whether its people  that I've met only once through vacations or from high school, because I wasn't really friends with them, or just had a class or something. I understand why companies are using this, but we really should be concerned with how much informaiton we personally post, so we start to protect ourselves.
