I agree. Do you remember a company called Bandwagon? http://ridethebandwagon.com/ http://ridethebandwagon.com/ They had a big splash a couple of years ago about how they were going to offer unlimited backup for all your mp3s in iTunes, all nicely and automatically synced, for about $10/month or something. They were going to do the storage on S3. They offered anyone who mentioned them on their blog a free years' service. http://blog.ridethebandwagon.com/post/37269480/free-accounts-for-bloggers http://blog.ridethebandwagon.com/post/37269480/free-accounts... I had about 400G of mp3s at the time I think. I thought, "OK!" Their service lasted about 2 days as they underestimated, seemingly by about an order of magnitude, how much data people actually had. http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2007/02/adverse_selecti.html http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2007/02/adverse_selecti.html Then they went back to the drawing board and came up with some lame service where you buy the storage space on S3 yourself and then they sell you the ability to access it or something. Lucky they didn't go out of business. Anyway, knowing the details of the kind of system Backblaze is using, and the price per gig it breaks down to for them, is evidence they're not overselling themselves, and gives me confidence that they'll still actually be there in a few years, unlike Bandwagon. I'm much more likely to use them because of that. Add in all the discussion they've generated, and it's been a very clever marketing event for them. Kudos!
