Ah, is THAT what's wrong? I was wondering where everyone's avatar images disappeared to.

...plus Twinkle isn't working and Twitter's images aren't loading. Naughty Amazon.

I didn't appreciate how important S3 was until now.

This is why I'm looking at alternative computing models to deploy my engines on. I think I'd break S3 very fast. Need a better cloud. Is App Engine the answer? Not sure. Maybe talk to David Sabey, Bob Franza, and Craig McCaw's people about it.

We were having this exact discussion at CloudCamp London last week. How do ensure that you have (cheap) redundancy across clouds given that most cloud computing platforms are currently incompatible and based on radically different models. Sadly AWS's european MD hand-waved when I asked about the possibility of cloning their APIs

Cloud Computing removes the single point of failure but if the single point of your system is Amazon S3 it's still a single point of failure..
