- jeffbarr 16y agoPerhaps, but I started the blog in November of 2004, long before EC2, S3, or any of the other services had been released. It was a clean and simple way to get a blog up and running and I've never had a compelling reason to go through the trouble to move it to another host. Here's the first post that I wrote for the AWS blog: http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2004/11/welcome.html http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2004/11/welcome.html
- pjscott 16y agoI would assume that the AWS guys are all about comparative advantage. Anybody not familiar with the term will probably enjoy Wikipedia's surprisingly good explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage tl;dr: The AWS people get higher marginal return on their investment of time and money by hosting with TypePad and putting the time they save into making AWS better. Probably.
