Posted by Unknown on from the cloud-internet-convergence dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Wired story claims Amazon's cloud now hosts enough companies and traffic to generate 1% of all Internet traffic (and visits from 1/3 of daily Internet users). An amazing number if true. And a little scary for one company to host this much cloud infrastructure."

    Dear Amazon.com customer:

    Fred, we noticed from your surfing history that you recently viewed

    More likely:

    "Dear Amazon.com customer:
    Bob, we noticed from your surfing history that you recently viewed porn.

    You may also be interested in: more porn.

    Sincerely, Jeff B. and Amazon.com"

    The advantage of that message is that you don't even really need to check the user's history.
