Amazon has for long won the hearts of developers worldwide with its amazing services in Amazon S3, SimpleDB and EC2. Google finally has a noteworthy competitor up its sleeves to give Amazon some shakes. Google has just launched a preview release of Google App Engine. Here’s what Google has to say about the App Engine :
Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google’s infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it’s ready to serve your users.
Unlike Amazon’s offerings, the App Engine is one closely knit service providing all the functionality that Amazon provides in its trio of S3, SimpleDB, EC2 in one simple unified package.
The extremely popular media hosting site ImageShack has just begun a free BitTorrent downloading service that allows you to download torrents straight from ImageShack servers, and later download them from ImageShack via a HTTP link.
The Torrent download service is at the moment in a public beta, but nonetheless it works as advertised. Just point ImageShack to the torrent file either via URL or by uploading the torrent file itself. The download will begin immediately and once it is completed you can easily download the files to your computer.
Services such as this aren’t new but until now we haven’t seen a compelling free solution such as the one offered by ImageShack. ImageShack does have some restriction, like you can download at the most only 15GB a month.
