Can/will Bezos put Twitter into the cloud?
I think Bezos stepping up and backing Twitter is probably the most significant bit of news about Twitter in recent months (aside from all the well, you know, the WHALE episodes). I think it will be very interesting to watch and see if, with Bezos' backing and support, if they can successfully re-launch Twitter completely in the cloud. It could be the first real test to see if this type of social network can scale using cloud computing techniques. I am going to be watching this closely, as one of my engines will place similar loads on the cloud.
